I think the future's finally here.

I like to read the old popular science articles proclaiming the world of tomorrow, which is usually the world of today or about twenty years ago. I get a very self-indulgent pleasure hearing predictions of jet packs and flying cars that never happened. So many predictions got it so wrong, and yet we do live in an amazing time.

A time where I can teach classes all over the world ... and never leave my home office. A time where my IPOD has more computer power than all of NASA  in the 60's. Here's a video that got it mostly right, kind of cool to watch the home of the future. Which was their vision of ten years ago.

Enjoy.
