Yes. As far as I'm concerned, we are still in the 80s.Are we already living in the future as we imagined it?
I see no monorail to the Amex yet, so it is a no from me.
In your wildest dreams did you think that people would see each other on their phones and use a loudspeaker in public?We are.
When I was a kid, I thought being able to see people when you phoned them would be so good.
It's not.
*edit* Maybe I should mention that at the time, we had A and B buttons in phone boxes.
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. Can you name one thing now compared to 15 years ago which is tangibly different? Even the iPhone which is released every year is no different now to that 10 years ago.Yes we see these robotic marvels and all sorts of innovative stuff, but how much of it ever comes into daily use and affects our lives ?
The things that do happen, like AI , seem to creep up unexpectedly. We are terrible at predicting the future.
