#1 I disagree. I want to live in a sleek Thin Man environment with glass walls in the middle of Nature, so I can gaze on its majesty while sipping a drink in air-conditioned comfort. And then I'll turn on the TV.

In the Fifties we were promised that the 21st century would mean glass-walled houses in beautiful woodland settings with wall-sized TVs, and we'd commute to work in flying cars. We've made great strides toward the wall-sized TV, but that's it. Where's the rest of it?
