21. Imagine a world in which doctors are able to manipulate human behavior the way we manipulate broken bones today. 22. Imagine a world where man was too busy with war to reach the stars. 23. Imagine a world where the carbonated drinks have gone flat, the sandwich-makings are like cardboard, and the air hangs like week-old tobacco smoke. 24. If we imagined a nightmare world, it might be a place governed by illiterate teen-age boys. 25. Imagine a world in which companies issue their own cash. 26. Imagine a world in which you do not have to remember passwords or worry about them falling into the wrong hands. 27. Imagine a world not too far in the future, where voice-activated computers are installed in kitchens everywhere. 28. Imagine a world where true e-cash is an everyday reality. 29. Imagine a world without ATM cards and personal identification numbers, where the human body serves as the ultimate ID. 30. It is difficult to imagine a world in which there is nothing left to wonder about. |
