Where is the Future that was Promised to Us?

One of the topics for the unconference part of CyborgCamp is exactaly this. Every year, we’re teased by science and technology magazines, advertisements, and news shows. They tell us that in a few years, we’ll all live forever, or that we’ll all have flying cars. But when has a sceintific or technological prediction actually come true? Where is the future that was promised to us?

M.T. Richardson of Vidoop (where we’ll be having the pre-CyborgCamp party) first suggested this as a topic at the Inverge afterparty. It’s been stuck in my head ever since.

But what about you all? What invention have you been promised that hasn’t panned out? For me, it is definitely awesome computer interfaces. We can’t even touch data today! I suppose we’ll be hearing all about it on Saturday, December 6th.
