Mr. Skaboi,
 THIS is your virtual reality.  Think about it: you are conversing with people hundreds of miles away in an computer mediated environment!   Oh Brave New World!

Anyone see the Simpon's recently where Homer buys the first flying car and its a junker?   I'll wait for the next model.  Now  person jetpack! Sign me up.

I want my teleportation chamber. Maybe when the airlines go bust they'll look more into it.

While as a little kid i watched movies like "The time machine" and "Logans Run" which had these weird images of people in the future who may or may not be wearing silver body suits and riding in cars and elevators shaped like tubes - i think the 80's had the biggest impact on my view of the future. yeah, more bleak and blade-runnerish. not really post apocalyptic so much as the idea that the world is so overpopulated the only way to survive is to wear alot of purple and black makeup with lots of face glitter and spandex. That suburbia no longer seemed to exist so much as dark cities run amok with prostitution and poverty.

and yet strangely everyone had time to party

Don't even get me started on the Lunar slave-colonies...

Where do you think all those 'missing persons' who vanish every year disappear to, anyway?!?

I remember a Life magazine article back in the 60's that showed us the 80's. We all had shav3d heads and wore unisex clothing.

Actually I always hoped for the 2001 type future. We would be on the moon and have giant ringed space station orbiting above us.

As an old post someone made here once: Where the hell is my flying car?!

Here is something to consider. A literature professor pointed this out to our class. Brave New World  was written before WWII.   1984 , Fahrenheit 451 , and Handmaid's Tale  were written after WWII. The difference is Brave New World  doesn't feature a totalitarian leader or police state. The characters are free with the exception of the arbitrary societial norms and being repressed by their lifestyle ( Soma and Feelies).

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
