To those of us already living in 2005: What's it like?
Are there 900-story skyscrapers yet? Flying cars? Warp drive?
Do people run around in togas with winged epaulets and Ming The Merciless collars?
Most important: Am I going to be able to get rid of this box on my desk tomorrow and jack directly into the Grid via cranial implant?

It's great in 2005. We only work a four-hour week, and nuclear power is giving us electricity so cheap that it's almost free. Our cars run on water, and produce oxygen from their exhausts. I'm just about to take a trip in my hover-copter. I have to do that, because there's nothing else to do - unfortunately I can't log in to second life.  |

Hi, I'm a time traveller from a divergent future -- a split-off blade of grass of the gridverse, so to speak.
Danny, I will confirm that we do have neurotactical interfaces. I'm also a picotech advocate... take that as you will.
However, organic produce is nonexistent. Watermelons are key to my line of ancestry.
