Have you ever thought about how weird touchscreens are? I'm not talking about resistive touchscreens, like the DS and those PDAs used. The kind where there's a small gap between two sperate screens. Those make perfect sense to me. I'm talking about the tempered glass style, where it feels like you're just jabbing your thumb into a bit of window. I swear to God, this has to be magic somehow.*
I think we've officially reached the future at this point. We have mobile devices that can do almost anything, we have planes that can break the sound barrier, we consider going to the moon "history", we can porn DELIVERED TO OUR HOUSES. It just gets a bit ridiculous. Even people who bitch and moan about how we don't have jetpacks should be able to realize how much our technology has advanced. Read some old Asimov novels and tell me we aren't just a few years away from that, or even already there.
And you know, they're still in the developmental stages, but yeah, we have robots. Sure, we've always had them, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Servant robots. Robot butlers. Pretty soon here, stupid boring jobs will all be done by robots. And teenagers are going to get screwed out of jobs.
I can't tell whether or not this is awesome.
*To get the full effect, I typed this on a touchscreen. It was trippy.
