How about even more recently?  I am *only 51* but my life doesn't look
at
all like those projections on the magazines covers back in my youth
(1950's/1960's)  - Personal helicopters/airplanes any one?  computer
driven cars on automatic highways (no more merging accidents...)?  Yes,
that cuts both ways; some exceeded projecting current trends while most
fell short or went a completely different route; but the point is - we

fallen] nature is a constant.  There are no good guys in the GZG
