We've come a long way in 25 years.

With technology advancing at an ever increasing rate, it's unimaginable to think what the next 25 years will yield.

There will be a little gizmo hovering over all our heads telling us to get up in the morning, eat breakfast, what time to go to work, etc, etc, etc....

It will undoubtedly be tuned to our brain frequencies, requiring no physical connection. If I want to ask a young lady out, my gizmo will download her history and background, evaluate it and if all is ok will arrange a suitable meeting with her gizmo.......

Then our gizmos will make little gizmos that decide that the humans are no longer required, and we will be penned up like sheep......

Kind of depressing, isn't it?
