The future.

It’s interesting to look at it and imagine how exactly it would be. For the most part, technology becomes the focal point of the imagery. For one reason or another an association between technology and the future has been made, and its difficult to escape it.

Where did the imagery come from though? The flying cars, robot help, the video phone, and the ever increasing need to have anything in an instant.

You can blame Assimov, you can blame The Jetsons. What becomes a struggle is that in a world where a button does it all, what’s the use of autonomy?
