Point of View: What We Have Left Behind

by
nostalgia / clocks / time - deposit photos

Last week, I took a look at some of the sci-fi gadgets, discoveries and trends that are propelling us into a sci-fi, and why they are more disappointing (and in some cases frightening) than I hoped they would be. Today I’m taking a deep dive in the opposite directory, remembering my past, and thinking about some of the things we have left behind. When I was a kid, there were basically three ways to listen to music. Radio, record album, and cassette tape (okay, 8-track was a thing too, but it was already fading by the time I arrived on … Read more

Point of View: The Future is Now (And It Kinda Sucks)

by
flying cars - deposit photos

We all grow up in a world we think we know. Not just that, but we assume it’s always been like this. That’s natural – we have no other personal frame of reference, other than old TV shows and movies (and of course books) that offer us a two-dimensional look at life the way it used to be.
