It is year 2012. There are no jet packs. Instead we find that life now is remarkably similar to how it was in the golden age, the industrial age, possibly even the stone age. We don't change but technology has, and it has made us better humans. Especially so with mobile technology. Because it is with us all of the time, it has an incredible influence on how we live and interact. It extends our senses while it creates new ones.
