We really are living in a sci-fi world.
Everyone who reads this is taking part in the world of tomorrow as well. You are probably reading this on a screen that is no thicker than three inches and possibly even something that is a quarter inch thick. It is much more power efficient than ten years ago when we were still going away from the CRT beasts of yore.
Other people have a Kindle with E-Ink. Ink that changes size to make words or images on a page. A paper page mind, not a crazy screen but something that is more like paper in a book than not. We are developing OLED screens that one day can give you a real time HUD on your car or turn every wall in your house to a vivid landscape.
We have a nuclear powered, laser equipped science lab the size of a car on Mars that has been happily doing tests for two years with no real signs of stopping that we landed there using a frakkin flying saucer. We know more about how the universe works and we are using that to our advantage. The NIF in California is a prime example of this. Heck, that place is so Sci-Fi they used it as the warp core in the last Star Trek.
Point is, I am happy to be here. I'm glad you can join me. Lets learn about something fantastic.
