We have met the future and it sucks

The future we were promised ...

Flying cars.
Rocket packs.
A personal robot servant.
A Moon base.
A Mars base.
Nuclear fusion.
Teleportation.
Cyberspace.


The future we got ...

Electric cars with bad brakes.
Suicide bombers
A robot phone that orders you around.
A war in Iraq.
A war in Afghanistan.
Clean coal.
A 3 hour wait at the airport.
Internet porn.
