There's something about that that gives me a 1950's optimistic technofuturism rush, of the kind where high school kids were playing with building radios and such because decades down the road they'd be wielding technology to build a more perfect world.
Fuck the flying cars. We've got cleaning robots, on-line shopping, hand-held GPS maps with live traffic, and a really kick-ass standard of living. We're living in the future, and it's only getting futurier.
