Having grown up through the golden sci-fi era and as a kid imagined the wondrous possibilities that the future had to offer both here on Earth and out in space, I have felt bitterly disappointed that really nothing much has changed in the past 30 or 40 years.

The only thing to speak of as a technological game-changer is high-speed and wireless internet. What other technological advancements have come in to change our lives? Everything else is just the same tech evolving: Planes are still tulipe, in fact the flying experience is a whole lot worse. Cars are about the same, still using 4 wheels and same fuels but just a bit nicer and quicker. Computers are still computing, just quicker and smaller. TVs are still TVs, just thinner and lighter and with a lot more crap to try avoid watching. We all work a lot harder and end up with less quality time.

Bah humbug

Australian police today had a report of a vehicle crashing into a power pole at 88mph, with the driver having a licence that expired 30 years ago.
They have sent officers from their hoverboard unit over to investigate..

Yeah give it a couple of months and I expect the Tories will announce a new strategy to reduce the prison population .....

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Doubt it, they aren't actually shooting at anyone, plus:

This means rubber blunted arrows fitted with long wooden shafts and fletched with real white feathers.

DOH! Should have remembered, or read the article more carefully

Elf 'n Safety innit?

and in a few days, this Sunday, it will be back to the past day:

Thousands of arrows to rain down on Agincourt for the first time in 600 years as English and French historians plan to recreate famous battle

Flip me, it sounds like there will be a few more hundred casualties, to add to the tens of thousands of French killed on the day
