    So happy new years empires mod, but I gotta bring something to your attention.

    look at the photo, makes me lol every time I see it pop up every now and then. I know looney tunes and jetsons and stuff would portray the 2000's as having flying cars and interstellar ships and stuff and Back To The Future 2 takes place in 2015, which isn't far off, and theres blade runner that's 2019. Man future predictions are so funny.

    Yeah, by 2010 i expected flying cars, anatomically accurate robot house maids and free love. But all we got was gay marriage and a negro as US president. :(

    We don't have those things because the Internet came along and ruined everyone's productivity.

    Don't worry, by 2015 the world will run out of cat pictures and productivity will get back up to speed.

    True, the Internet is almost as good as flying cars, many thanks to Al Gore for inventing it.
    Did anyone in the 70s predict something like the Internet?
