Dude. We are totally living in the future.

Here is the cool thing about the future: it's not that far away. We can see it approaching; it's coming right at us at a constant rate of sixty minutes per hour. It's a tad blurry and imprecise, sure, but there it is. And it's all rocket-powered flying cars, and telephones that will fit right in your pocket, and complete meals in a single pill (just add water!), and electronic newspapers you can read anywhere, and robot servants, and cameras that don't need film, and mail-order brides for pioneers living on Mars.

The future is sputnik-shaped transistor radios. With antennas, dude. It's going to be so totally cool.
