I grew up counting the years down to 2000AD when we'd swallow pills instead of eating real food, fly to work in something out of Back to the Future, have bases on Mars and massive space stations like in 2001.
To quote Austin Powers:
"The future is very much like today, nothing exciting has happened in 30 years".
Apart from the PC on my desk, which saves me the mind numbing hassle of calculating payroll manually there's not much on the surface different from 30 years ago. Okay, my clothing is more tasteful than my 1975 time twin's but I still have to drive my own car to work as it doesn't drive itself, coffee is still made by having to boil a kettle first and there's sod all on television worth watching. We're still talking about when we're actually going to go to the moon (again).
