Conditioning

I have always felt that our media shapes and conditions our minds for things to come so that when the things we see on TV that we find outrageous and unbelievable become items in use every day on a mass level it is not such a shock. Case in point: cell phones. I remember in the 80's we started seeing the concept and idea of mobile phones. The first time I saw that, even as a young child, I thought it was unbelievable. Then by the early 90's mobile phones were starting to come around. By the late 90's, most everyone had one.

I think the government does this with aliens, their technology, all sorts of things. Think of Minority Report, how long before half that shit really becomes enforced?

This particular post is dedicated to hover cars. Dane believes that when he's old and crotchety everything will be hover. Cars, bikes, boats, coffee machines - you name it. Well on TV tonight the new GM commercials show the cars being lifted out of traffic and moving forward in the air. The concept isn't that they are producing a hover car, but that their warranty is innovative. What I took out of it was the first hard core piece of conditioning that cars are moving forward to embrace the sky. I bet within 50 years we will see a change to a new type of vehicle.
