Livin' in the future, tell you how I know...

[crowdog66]

It occurred to me, as I sit here working on a computer that helps me to create art, ready to send finished files across the country via the internet to a server, while listening to a music storage device that holds 300 songs and only weighs half an ounce, that I am livin' in a future that the people working on the comic I'm currently coloring (1961) could NEVER have imagined. Sure, we don't have flying cars and moving walkways (well, except in airports), but we have so many things that are truly miraculous when you look at them from the perspective on the Sixties. The iPod Shuffle alone would be a subject of absolute fascination to most intelligent people of 45 years ago, and it's something that I take very much for granted most days.

Speaking of time warps, the following video (1947) is gacked from a post by elaryn, and addresses the issue of "the more things change, the more they stay the same".

(For the curious, these are the lyric to the song the title of this post references, and it's pretty darned cool.)
