And there'll never be any worry or strife again!

(Also note that everyone in the "future" happens to be white middle-class folks...)

Transportation isn't really advancing fast if you leave out that AI nonsense. In general it's been the same for over 100 years. We're still taking rockets to space. Come on now we should have had space ships decades ago

I remember in like 1990, reading something that said humans would land on Mars in 2000. I believed it. Sounds stupid now

Look on the bright side, in Back to the Future 2 they thought we'd still be relying on fax machines.

As the morning sun rises, my lingering memories fade. I no longer see your silhouette. It's too far gone into the haze.

50 years after the first man on the moon. And we are still not able to build a colony on the moon.
And They still insist on putting a man on Mars. That's hilarious.

Actually, the only reason is because Governments and extraterrestrials don't want us doing that for whatever reason.

This. We thought we would have all this cool stuff. Instead the new stuff was information based and our big prize was the internet. We all see how that turned out. :)

I would much rather have a flying car.

An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.
