So, if you haven't noticed, we are living in the year 2015. This was some kind of magical date for movies 30 years ago, making the wildest assumptions about our daily life. There are supposed to be dystopian megacities with huge neon signs, fully computer controlled apartments and robots that can double as sex slaves. But we aren't even close to anything like that, basically we are still living like in the 80s. Where are my self-lacing shoes, my flying cars, my hoverboard, my AppleWatch and my 14nm desktop chips? Why is nothing advancing anymore? From 1938 to 1968 there were changes everywhere, from 1968 to 1998 still a few, but from 1998 to the present? Not much, cellphones have gotten smaller bigger displays and have internet and that's about it.
where the fuck is my Black&Decker Hydrator? [YOUTUBE]s9U2ekOVL5Q[/YOUTUBE] My hopes are high that by 2017 the USA will be a totalitarian police state and Schwarzenegger will be killed in a TV show on national television but still, WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN ROBOHOOKERS?
They have the hoverboard coming up, and flying cars sort of in the works. But you know, people were more interested in smaller phones than space travel, so...
I like how the dollar is rebounding, the Euro is projected to match the US dollar (finally) and the Japanese yen is less also. So importing is slightly more affordable now. I remember in 2012 when I was in Tokyo and the exchange rate was ridiculous, I exchanged $800 for only 59000 Yen.
Yeah the old times had weird ideas of how 2010 are going to look like. People flying in hovercars, jetpacks, empires having blimps and so forth..
???? I don't see the Euro being valued the same as the dollar without some incident within the financial markets.
