There is a great episode of the West Wing when they crew is talking about NASA. Leo laments how the hope and promise of NASA never delivered.
“My generation never got the future it was promised… Thirty-five years later, cars, air travel are exactly the same. We don't even have the Concorde anymore. Technology stopped.
Josh Lyman: The personal computer…
Leo McGarry: A more efficient delivery system for gossip and pornography? Where's my jet pack, my colonies on the Moon?”
Well, the video did give us a glimpse into the future – the long lines of people.
Unfortunately, the line is for the unemployment and career fairs.
