When I first saw Terry Gilliam’s movie Brazil I marvelled at the preposterous view of the future he presented. The notion that it was prepostorous has changed recently with a few news items I have come across. First there was an article on giving your loved ones medical gift cards for the upcoming holiday season. If you saw the movie you will remember when Sam’s mother gave him medical gift tokens for the holidays. Today I see an article on perscription medication vending machines, which reminds me of the vending machine that dispenses fresh air. I have also been thinking about the future bans on LCD flat panels as they are energy hogs and I wonder if we would be using small screens with magnifying lenses over them in the name of saving the earth? I am almost 100% positive this is just around the corner. You don’t need a psychic to tell you the future, just watch the movie.
