Sci-fi is cool

Looks pretty darn good. Although I just read that it's been pushed back to this December.

Watching this got me thinking about the future, and our vision of what it will be like. It's kinda funny how 40 years ago, Star Trek had this great vision of what the future will be like, and while it's still entertaining to watch, the whole buttons and dials thing just seems silly. 25 or so years later, Star Trek: The Next Generation came out, and it seemed so high tech and futuristic. But even though we don't use computers in that way (random touchscreens), IT too already seems a little old and outdated.

Just goes to show that thinking about the future, especially the FAR future, is really tough. And envisioning it and representing it is even tougher. And I'm sure we're ALL getting it wrong. But it's fun to try...
