I am very disappointed in the future →[More:]I just watched Back to the Future again, and I realized that Doc went 2015 to get a holographic license plate, a Mr. Fusion, and a fucking flying Delorean. That is 4 years from now, and I am feeling very dubious about my chances of being able to obtain a flying Delorean in 4 years.

I feel like I will still *need* roads even 6 years from now.

WTF, future?? Get your act together already!

We've got video phones; does that count?

Yeah, you can keep your jetpacks and flying cars; people on every streetcorner of my small city carry around tiny pocket computers that can connect them to vast databases of information and media, and nobody thinks this is a big deal. Just about every day, something happens that makes me think "Holy cats, I am living in the FUTURE!"

I mean, I wouldn't sneeze at a jetpack, but whevs.

Yeah, I really wouldn't want to live in a 2015 where if you want information on the last fifty years worth of sporting results, you go and buy a Sports Almanac.
