I blame the poor quality of public education, the popular glorification of the relentless pursuit of money, and the lack of government spending on jetpack research. Because dammit, it's 2006 and I still don't have a jetpack yet. The future kinda sucks.
Won't ya know it, earlier today I was actually thinking about the jetpack gap, but I decided that in light of the ubiquity of cell phones, mp3 players, blog culture, etc., things really are pretty futurey.
