re: #29 turn

Awesome. I remember being awed at the special effects in 2001 A Space Odyssey when I was a young teenager, look at how far the technology has come. Technology in general is advancing exponentially toward the singularity.

Kind of.

It’s leaped ahead in information technology since that movie came out; but dragged its feet (IMHO) in transportation and in space travel (among other things). As some critic noted about the movie Apollo 13: We have the technology to make these incredibly realistic-looking movies about going to the Moon… but we’re no longer actually going to the Moon.
