>This was the science fiction of our childhoods.

That is the thing I am mad about. We are getting bastardized versions of the science fictions of our childhood.

I fantasized about instant communicators across worlds, and we get mobile phones that work by planting a gazillion antennas across the globe. And people hail them as futuristic and say things like this.

I fantasied about human like robots and positronic brains, and we get a regurgitiation of past humanity, in text, ensuring a future of total intellectual and artisitc winter.

I fantasized a future with perfect health, but we get a million doctors and hospitals and medicines for everything and an existence that is unthinkable without health insurance!

I fantasized about antigravity flying cars, and we get drones.

What ever it is, these things are blocking the path to the science fiction of my childhoods.
