incredulous Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Do you remember when we used to watch movies and it would say year 2000 or so, and there was flying cars, robots, and other unreal stuff. we always thought that by now we would fold up our car and make it into a briefcase before work. We would come into our houses and say channel 6 and it would turn on, etc.its 2003 and we aren't even close to anything like that now even in futuristic movies they go to year 3025 or so.do you think we will ever get to that level of technology???

browneyedqt Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I think in Back to The Future 2 he goes to like 2015 and everyone is flying and stuff like that...pretty funny when you think about that in the 80's they thought that's how it would be in 2000...

copahc Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 yeah, that is pretty disappointing. I thought we were all supposed to be zooming around with jet packs on by now. Where's my flying car damn it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codica3 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 That's so odd.. because when 2000 came around my dad was like: hey Cody, I was supposed to be having a reunion with a lot of my old friends on the moon.. cause when they were in highschool they figured that by 2000 we would be able to come and go to the moon as we please.. aww..

naughtybabe Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 If the day does come.. I fear we will all be long gone. I thought I be able to live the life they have in "Back to the future II" (don't laugh) where you put little seeds in the microwave and you got a big dinner out in like 2.3 seconds. What a disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
