    It’s easy to see why people thought we would be a lot more futuristic by now.

      i have a little tablet in my pocket that gives me access to the sum total of all human knowledge and can contact anyone else more or less anywhere on/around the planet for instant voice communication.

      We can take organs out of dead people and put them in living people and have them survive.

      I can be anywhere on the planet within 48 hours

      We have cars that can drive themselves

      We have robots being controlled live(ish) on mars

      We have planes that can stay airbourne indefinately

      And there’s many more examples

        Phones can also video call, lead you to just about anywhere you want to go on the planet, and store millions of pictures/videos/writings of a person’s personal history. Unprecedented.
