I FINALLY saw 2001: A Space Odyssey yesterday. It was a great movie, a real work of art, although I didn't quite understand the ending. While I always hear about how the real 2001 didn't live up to the predictions of the film, I was impressed by how much the movie DID get right about the future: flat screen and portable TVs, modern usage of credit cards (I'm not sure when credit cards started being used as they do today, but the movie got it right), computer chess, TV's in the back of airplane seats, voice recognition and voice operated systems...
Sure, space isn't quite what we envisioned, but we're not THAT far off. Everything else (with the notable exception of Videophones) seems pretty damn close to, well, today.
