    Another one: Real meat (other than in fancy restaurants).

    Finally: A free and open internet (ehhh, I guess it depends on how you define it).

    Only a matter of time. If not some kind of DNA drug like this, we will find the singularity and be able to download ourselves into robot bodies (or some virtual world). Hopefully it doesn't turn out like a Black Mirror episode.

    As a side to this, buying a video game magazine for the free poster.

    If you didn't want to rip it, you had to painstakingly take the staples out of the magazine binding.

    I reckon driving will be today's horse-riding - a leisure activity for enthusiasts. If you want to zip around, you'll have to take your car to a track somewhere.

    Yup, my wife and I used to, but with the 3 kids it's difficult just to eek out an "x".
