Its the future where's my blank!

edited August 2006 in Everything Else
I was catching up on the Movies You Should See podcast and when they were talking about Back to the Future they mentioned the hover-boards in the second one, which was set in 2015. That's not that far away and I don't think we're going to get it. This will be another broken promise made to me my movies, books and TV. In 2001: A Space Odyssey they had regular travel to the moon, and I believe Mr. Asimov promised me some robots!

    Sorry, only the internet has bots right now ;)

    According to the original Transformers movie, there should have been hoverboards in the year 2005. To say nothing of the giant, intelligent robots.

    But they're from another planet so I'll let that one slide.

    Wasn't the Earth supposed to be overrun with Terminators by now too?

    I'm pretty sure there was a TOTD where it listed everthing that happened in the movies in a time-line style fashion. I'm too lazy to look through the archives for it though.

    I was kind of hoping for a general decline in religion, pseudoscience and superstition coupled with a rise in rationality and acceptance of empirical science...

    *sigh* I wished for this as well, but sadly for some reason we are repeating the late 70's and early 80's.

    But with a decline in superstition, how would Batman fight common criminals?

    I'm waiting for my closet full of Nehru jackets to come into style.

    That would have been nice, but if its a choice between decline in religion and a hovercar, I'd prefer the hovercar.
