Back in the long gone days when I was a teenager, the BBC broadcast a very popular program called Tomorrows World, it ran from 1965 to 2003. It informed us about nuclear power and that electricity would be free, because it was so efficient. Cars would be fully automatic and require no driver. Robots would do most of the work, and we would be working only a few hours a week, with lots of money to enjoy our copious leisure time. What a crock of shit. We now live in the future, and this is the reality. This video is a masterpiece, and is a very accurate portrayal of today's "astounding" World.
Thanks for the comments on my post from yesterday, seems like most of us played our part in collecting junk and the rebuilding of China.

Working a few days a week and having lots of money, that sounds like a dream.
Enjoy your day and weekend!
Yes, it is discouraging.
Is this for real?
Ah yes wait a moment I think it is. Not sure how us humans can cope.

You are cheerful today, Eddie. Where's Jan?
God bless.
This is disappointing my friend specially last few views which question our civilisation and education!
I wish we run in the race of being HUMAN first rather than rich or else
I used to love that programme - Raymond Baxter. Such a programme now would be forever out of date given the speed of technological and cultural change that is not always for the best. However, I think George Orwell (1984) was closer to the mark about authoritarianism than Tomorrow's World's technology predictions.
This is so sad! Unfortunately, so much of it true!
