When I was in elementary school I had a lot of dreams for technological, philosophical, and political advancements.
The year 2000, to me, represented a new age of hover boards, clean energy, and an extrmemely high overall quality of life.
I believed WE would have sent a man to Mars by now.
Those dreams have died. They've crumbled to the ground. Now that the dust has somewhat settled and I'm nearly 30, I realized that THEY created the internet rather than fund an expedition to Mars.
Am I right? Am I wrong? Should I still have dreams of an enlightened world built on the benevolence of science and humanity? Was the internet the great invention of my time?
