Oh, How I Hope I Live To See It!
After we bullshit over driverless cars for a decade instead of building trains I
wonder what we'll bullshit over the next decade instead of building trains.
Well, at least you'll live to see this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rqfhwClvWMM/TrWDSR9lztI/AAAAAAAAGbk/yZEnJVHkeUM/s1600/Blade%2BRunner%2BOpening%2BTitles.png (the date, if not the technology :-/ ).
You know, I really don't like anime, except for this one (very _Blade Runner_ish) sequence that took my breath away the first time I saw it:
Ghost in the Shell - Making of Cyborg (Music Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5pbmt9VSTM
(I don't mind the girl's face -- she's not supposed to be human, after all -- but why'd they have to go and spoil it with the cartoonish Beagle?)
