I'd like to think that we will get back to normality but I suspect that it will be a 'new' normality!

In the 1950s and 60s, they thought that there would be much more leisure time and pondered what we would do with the time liberaterd by machines. Huh? They thought that we would have paperless offices. Huh?

There must be many more examples ... so I woul dnot try and imagine what life wil be like in 30 years time. Think to how it was 30 years ago and how we believed it would be now?

Result? More big sausages with wings, proceeding through the air at a steady pace.
