The future isn’t what it used to be,
Because now
We’re into the future before it comes:
GPS,
iPhones, Androids,
Genetically-altered foods,
X-ray scanners that see through our clothes,
Digital intelligence that extrapolates
From a single word,
Our thoughts.
Computers have already trivialized us,
The rest is just science fiction…
Beam me up, Scotty…
Never mind, I’m already here.
