Science Fiction
If we asked a farmer 200 years ago what he would want if he could have anything, he would probably have asked for a horse twice as strong that ate half the food. He would not have asked for a tractor; he did not know what technology was still to come.Science fiction predicted many innovations during the fifties and sixties to be realised by the year 2000; of which very few had come to life. None of them foresaw the role of the computer today.
What are we still missing out on? What is to come in the next fifty years?
Relax! It is Saturday.

That was predicted in the 40s, 50s, 60's and 70s. I don't think were close to it yet, but it would be nice.
How`s that???
Will there be any limits. I want four!
How did we ever manage without it? yet nobody ever predicted it.
When do you expect this to happen?
Three hours — and everything isn't present a dream.

Yes, those are all in the pipeline. I hope it comes sooner than later.

Also i can create a robot like u relative and make funny blogs with him
Why create a robot to do it? I thought you liked it here, my dear niece.
Hair on my head? A very touchy subject.
But then I heard that God only created a limited number of perfect scalps; all the rest he covered with hair!
Love love love darling relative
GOD is very handsoem and he created us very handsome and pretty too
This new pic of you I don't understand. I cannot find your face there! Eyes not so good anymore.
Bad news is I don't have perfct scalp. Too much hair!
I just don't like long hair. Cut it last week again. Only grow it in winter. Won't cut again now until September or October when it gets warm again.

Good night dear Miow Miowing
Good Good Goodie night universe
for example, had we known that nuclear power plants were going to be so disastrous - we could have chosen to follow the alternative energy path instead... I'm a dreamer
Yes, exactly my point.
In 1968 we saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. A movie about monoliths and a computer, but it was the computer that was the monolith. They guessed a little about speech recognition, but he rest they got wrong. Imagine a computer capable of lip-reading.
Satellite phones were reference by other writers, but nothing like we have today in smart phones.
When are we going to start with real space travel? And when are we going to start colonising other worlds?.
Sorry for not stickung around. I was going to spend the night in bed with my laptop, but then I got a visitor and we went painting the town red.
We can allready foresee the consequences of most. We just prefer to ignore it, girl. I guess it will get worse as fossil fuels will get scarcer.
Morning morning uncle love...
So good to know that I will spend the Sunday at home for a change. With the lunch party yesterday I saw all the family, so I will be making my own food today.

No thank you, my dear niece. I specialize in one pot dishes. Less cleaning afterwards.
Remember that blog about preparing sheep's heads? It did very well and is still being read almost every day.
