Meet George Jetson....

Oohm pahm pahm oohm pa... Tomorrow. To quote the little redheaded twit - the sun'll come out - tomorrow. What will tomorrow bring? Can we play Nostradamus for a sec? George Orwell?

Who'da thunk that today we'd have medicinal wonders such as pills to make your blood pressure go down - or make your penis to go up... (Can't ya just see the near retirement age researcher at Pfizer/Viagra maker that day in the lab... an hour after ingesting his concoction... "OHH My God... Buckley C'MERE.. you ain't gonna believe this!")... They can ram small probes up into your body with miniscule cameras attached on the end - to see what's gone wrong inside - or to even help to repair it in surgery...

We have phones that take pictures, video, let us retrieve our email - what's next? Will they be able to give handjobs? "Yes, free long distance to any planet, 2,000 text messages allowed, free minutes start at 4pm, and six free handjobs per billing cycle.".. I-PODS, MP3's, HDTV, Satellite radio... Kajillion gigabyte personal computers.. robotics..

We can stick a GPS chip on our hound's collar and track him when he's gadding about... "HONEY? Did you leave Fido's doggie door unlocked?"..."Nope, not me.. turn on the GPS tracker - we'll find him before the dog catcher does."... "GOOD LORD.. it's vibrating like crazy - but it looks like he's at 1222 Elm Street." "Oh Shit, not again - that's the Johnsons.. FiFi must be in heat again."

They predicted talking cars - and now we have them.. Seena commercial the other day where the driver had pre-set the car's computer to the desired destination.. and as she drove it'd say "turn left, 50 yards." My goodness. Incredible.. Of course - wait until the day when the BET Channel comes out with their version.. "HEY BITCH.. turn this mothafucker around - you done gone too far."... or... "Yo Ho - be takin' a Louie in a hunnerd and fitty feet - yup, that's where they be stayin."

Not long ago I searched and I searched on this wonderful tool Al invented to see what the predictions are for tomorrow... and to read a little bit about the accuracy of predictions from yesterday... Main thing I gathered - we simply don't know. One diddy said "look, the best way to predict the future is to invent it.".. They said we'd be outta oil by now.. They said "By 1987, he added, the human race would be afflicted by a “bewildering array of degenerating sicknesses and epidemics.”... "Midwest farm areas would turn into desert wasteland by the early 1990s."..."cancer cured by 2002." "a cure for aging would be developed by 2010."

Fact is, we just don't know.. It really is remarkable to think back to what life was like when you were a kid - and to how different things are now.. Yes - the inventions/changes since have aided our gluttonlike effortless society - but somehow we made it..

Yesterday WAS fun. Today IS exciting. And the obnoxious redhead sang "the sun'll come out tomorrow -so you gotta hang until tomorrow come what may
tomorrow tomorrow - i love ya tomorrow -your always a day away
tomorrow tomorrow i love ya tomorrow -your always a day away...

Seeya tomorrow. Bye bye now.
