I remember talking to a friend about the Year 2000 and predictions that people made about the future like ...we’ll be flying around with jetpacks on our backs and eating pills instead of food etc..Well, I came across a book called "Where's My Jetpack?" and it's about all those things that were meant to happen in the future but still haven’t such as jetpacks, pills for food, a colony on the moon, x-ray glasses, streets with moving walk ways, servant robots…
We were supposed to live in fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia and the government was supposed to give everyone a Jetpack! So where's mine?
You can find a review of the book in the following link (http://www.amazon.com/Wheres-My-Jetpack-Amazing-Science/dp/1596911360/)

what about the outcomes of global warming then? they say we have 5 years left before it's too late! i don't mind not flying with jetpacks at the moment, but i would really mind having to swim everwhere in 10 years time as a thirsty fish as we would have plenty of salty water to dive into but no clean water to drink. time will tell...
