What a World

What did we do before technology. I can't remember what life was like before we had instant access to the world. And everyday it becomes even more personal. We can now connect to the world from our pockets. Are the days of Star Trek that far off? We were watching Children of Men last night and I remember how it was considered in one review as the modern day Blade Runner. When I watched Blade Runner as a kid that future seemed so far off it was insane. Flying cars? But watching Children of Men, I could really place myself in that future and it didn't seem that far off from where life is today. I can see car with windshield notifications. I can almost see myself in the future that was set up in Minority Report. Can the year 2100 seem so different to us know than what 2000 looked like in the early 1900s. Technology seems to be increasing at a phoenominal rate and yet the future doesn't seem that strange. Or should it? Wil the terminator future happen and send us back to the dark ages?
