Cheated Generation

Posted by – March 1, 2009 – Share on Facebook

Leo of West Wing fame commented that we were the generation that was cheated.

Leo: My generation never got the future it was promised… Thirty-five years later, cars, air travel is exactly the same. We don’t even have the Concorde anymore. Technology stopped.
Josh: The personal computer…
Leo: A more efficient delivery system for gossip and pornography? Where’s my jet pack, my colonies on the Moon?

Remember the World of the Future at Disney? The no-gas flying cars? Insta-cooking? Microsoft shows us what the future may look like in this Future Vision Monatage.

    So, um, from the Kid who worked for the Mouse: Tomorrowland is built on the idea of a future that can never be. That’s why it’s never been updated since the park opened. The whole area is based on a famous Sci-Fi writer (who’s name eludes me right now, but he’s super-famous and almost everyone who reads sci-fi has read one of his books) and those are all written about a future that can’t possibly happen. Thus, no flying cars, no Buzz Lightyear Laser Guns, no instant turkey on Thanksgiving.
