Do you remember the time when if you wanted to talk on the phone you had to sit by the phone?
My family's first computer cost more than three new computers today and it didn't have a hard drive on it.
I thought for sure that when I grew up to be a mom all the cars would fly and I would have a robot that cleaned my house.
I have no robot, but I have three small ones who mess up my house, and do occasional chores.
My car doesn't fly, but on occasion it has felt like it did--rushing to the doctor with an injured small one, I flew down the street.
Times may not be as advanced as I thought when I was a small one, but it is fun to remember what I imagined life would be like in 2010.
So the cars may not fly, but did you think you could listen to music on a device smaller than your thumb?

It may not be what I imagined (ie No space station on the Moon where I hoped to be living by now), but some of it is crazier and cooler than I thought it would be.
