I've been thinking about the future.
Today I’ve been thinking about the future. Well to be exact the 1950's and 1960's vision of the future. I remember as a kid (relatively recently!) looking at some of my papá’s schoolbooks. The basic content of which was:- We would travel around in jet-cars.
- Food would be a small pill for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- An in-house Robot would replace a women’s work.
- Nuclear energy would power everything.
- Work would become obsolete, allowing father to take Johnny Jr. fishing everyday of the week.
- There would be a colony on Mars, mining stuff.
- High-rise buildings would solve overcrowding.
- and many, many more!
Wow, weren't they wrong. Socially, economically, environ...monu...mentally-wrong! 
These mistakes I can live with but one thing troubles me. Why did the picture of the futuristic house with in-house Robot show it pushing a 1950's vacuum cleaner and wearing a piney like my Great-great grandmother?
