    25 years from now it will probably be photo motion reality rendering graphics.

    Or we'll all be dead from a nuclear war or something. Or we'll pollute this planet to a practically unliveable state.

    And still no [I]"f***ing"[/I] flying cars... and all the B.S. about us being wired, I mean, they can't even get the onboard electronics of cars to work reliably, not to speak of the navigation system.

    The worst of it, you'll get spammed right inside your head. Now that's scary.

    "I'm sorry, I can't talk to you right now, my mind is getting a denial of service attack, please hold... please hold... your conversation request is very important to me... please hold... all our technicians are busy right now... did you know that we have an interactive website which holds a frequently asked questions database... if you want to have lunch with me, press 1, if you want to talk to me directly, press 2, if you want to leave a message, press 3."

    Another thing that sucks even more than pressing numbers, it's companies with voice recognition automated services... now that's just awful... I always end up talking to a real person because the darn system doesn't understand a word I'm saying.

    Apparently if you swear at the voice recognition thing, you get through to a real person much faster.

    I know, that's exactly was I was thinking. Or anyone ever seen Ghost in the Shell? Maybe our brains will start getting hacked.
    Hey, what if you're driving down the road, and you use your brain-bank-gangster-computer-god-cyborg-brain to help get directions, then you get a ton of pop up ads and they block your vision, so then you go careening off the edge of a cliff and your robo-car that can't fly bursts into flames. The last thing you see before you die is a message that says "BRAIN WAVE ACCESS NOW TO GET BIGGER PENIS!!!!!!!!!!"

    Sounds good to me. No point in solving global warming either. We just need to manipulate humanity into a genetically enhanced race of cyborgs that can survive in any condition, including zero g. Kind of like those people in Deus Ex, what where they called? The Omar or something like that.

    I'd rather be a Technomage.
