2010

So yet another new year is upon us. I thought by 2001 we'd have space stations and killer A.I. Instead we have reality TV, Iphones and 2000 calorie burgers at Hardees.
That's OK. I think the future and for that matter technology, progress at a pace that is far more subtle than anybody writing for Star Trek would have predicted. Hell, we are, save for beaming up and warp drive, actually above the tech level of Star Trek. We have Ipones, Google Earth, Probes on Mars, the internet.... shit, we ARE in the future. Everybody and their brother has a computer than can get on the internet and spew out whatever theory they have on UFOs. That's pretty amazing, I think.

So we can go into 2010 confident that we have reached the future, just not in the way we intended.
