KC, when the amazing, long-awaited future arrives, full of promise, it is exciting for a fleeting moment, then is instantly converted to prosaic reality as we turn our attention to the future and what's next. The great Marxian revolution ended in mass murder, failed enterprise and poverty. The great wireless cyberspace revolution arrives and soon converted to cursing and busy signals. The dream of a computer on every desk and in every home arrived and turned into screen-bound obesity. The Ford dreams of everyman's car for freedom turned to traffic jams from horizon to horizon, road rage and drive-bys. A 19th century farmer or industrial revolution factory worker would be completely befuddled by the amazing panoply of stuff, not to mention huge cities and globalized population of 6 billion. But each new amazing arrival is quickly subsumed in the matrix of our lives and becomes ordinary. I wonder where it all leads. Mqurice
