I don't believe that will happen. There are several unfounded claims and more than one source cited was of questionable pedigree.

Awesome read. The author overestimated just about everything except the home computer. No mention of its ability to download gigs and gigs of free p0rn.

i like how he mixed the 1968 perception of the "housewife" with computer technology and robots. the housewife still plays the same roll, but instead of cooking dinner she programs the computer to cook it. the author envisioned future technology but never thought about the development of the woman in that society.

so i guess in november im only gonna have to sit at this desk for four hours?!
