If IT people didn't have dreams they wouldn't have jobs. I remember how ATC was going to be revelutionised over night some thirty years ago, twenty years ago, 10 years ago, and yesterday. I'm still waiting!
Of course there are definite improvements here and there, but they never materialise quite as quickly and efficiently as the IT dreamers predict.
I'll believe it all when I see it - if I'm still around by then!
