The flying car

I briefly touched on the differences between relocating 15 years ago and doing so today in an earlier post. But my sister Lynne reiterated as much following an online game session we had the other night:

"Though I know you've probably thought of this already, an observation on what it's like to live in the future: Twenty years ago the long-distance rates were such that you could only talk to the family once a week, and we had to watch the clock the whole time. Now we can e-mail as much as we want, long-distance calls don't break the bank, and last night people in three different states played Scrabble together. Where's my flying car?"
