    My view on history because of my age and growing up as a nerdy only child of parents who came of age in the 1960’s has given me a really crazy notion of how amazing the ideas technology driven advancements looks in that time period between 1900 and about 1980. Everyone from scientists, inventors, to authors, and directors seemed to really think we were going to be doing some amazing shit by the year 2000. Maybe not even particularly “better” shit, but amazing shit.

    I guess I was just into my imagination and science fiction back then.
