But now that you talk about this it makes me want to read it more because I sort of like how it brings these two things, that so many people like to keep apart, together.<br /><br /><br />It really is bizarre to think about what the future might look like, especially since you know you can't really know. I mean, even things that will likely appear ten years from now I doubt I can fully imagine. Sometimes it seems like my mind is way too limited by reality. I wish I could just think things up without thinking about what I already know! :P<br /><br /><br />I think your list of useful and cool is pretty darn good. I do think useful should also require transportation - especially planes. I don't think I'd ever end up in the UK otherwise. (I cannot imagine trying to do it by boat O.o). And of course, there are things like medical equipment that are quite useful! And cool? What about theme parks? haha.Asti @ Oh, the Books!http://ohthebooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-14414243495400864302014-07-02T08:48:21.937-07:002014-07-02T08:48:21.937-07:00Very interesting thoughts!

I mean, my old college has a tech program that is working on a holodeck! It's still limited to visuals, but look at how quickly things are changing.Kelhttp://bookedtiltuesday.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-75741207767995432682014-07-01T14:13:07.265-07:002014-07-01T14:13:07.265-07:00I've often thought how I'd have to live li...I've often thought how I'd have to live like the stone ages if all the people who make all these cool things suddenly stopped. I couldn't even make a toilet, which has got to be one of the greatest inventions ever. :) Smart phones also rank very high on my list! Sounds like an interesting book....Lisa notes...http://www.lisanotes.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-28547937217838464522014-06-30T20:05:27.435-07:002014-06-30T20:05:27.435-07:00I'm glad you liked it as well!

I was pleasantly surprised as I had assumed it would just be a book about working in a bookstore and that is it!Alyssaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-79625824762967040122014-06-30T20:04:43.498-07:002014-06-30T20:04:43.498-07:00The holodecks on Star Trek always look so cool, bu...The holodecks on Star Trek always look so cool, but they do get the crew in a lot of trouble! <br />I really do that as we progress as a society, we take the focus off of ourselves and focus on ways to better the world, such as eradicating hunger and cancer!Alyssaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-83641480264636853522014-06-30T12:04:13.931-07:002014-06-30T12:04:13.931-07:00Oh wow, this is a very thought-provoking post!

I think it is very hard to imagine what the future will bring - but I hope there will be mass space travel for humans - although I don't think I would want to go into space! And just a better way of taking care of our planet and all life - less pollution, disease, hunger. <br /><br /><br />As for inventions, I can't really think of anything but flying cars would be so cool, holodecks would be kinda scary haha, and living books sounds amazing!Charlene @ Bookish Whimsyhttp://www.bookishwhimsy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141478629295744121.post-11127206972943732272014-06-30T04:34:40.176-07:002014-06-30T04:34:40.176-07:00Great book, I really enjoyed reading it earlier th...Great book, I really enjoyed reading it earlier this year :)Finley Jaynehttp://finleyjayne.com/noreply@blogger.com
