The Future Today

Posted by on Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 8:52 AM

Utopia is about waving your hand in the air and making things happen....

It also seems that utopia even has a place/home/room for mass killers.

But as you can see, the wizards of the old days, of the dark and superstitious medieval moment, were born way too soon. Their world is happening only now. If we could transport them to where we are today, they would feel right at home with all this waving business. The strap on the arm is not that different from a wand in your hand.

Oh, sure, quadrotors are fun now. But just wait until they're chasing you through the sewers and all you have is a crowbar to defend yourself.
