A couple of years ago, I saw this television program about the future. It
showed people talking to a machine and you'd ask it for something and it
would make something right out of thin air! For instance, an
distinguished
looking bald guy would say "Computer, Earl Grey, hot" and the machine
would spit out a cup of tea, cup and all.

Another interesting thing was a lot of the spaceships in the future looked
kind of like caterpillar cocoons.

It sounds like the Jetsons.

Actually, that sounds like Captain Pickard on Star Trek: The Next
Generation. Great show.

Sarcasm and or irony! even my neighbor's 3 year old knows who Captain
Picard is!
