Man, even in the alt:future mallrats got wheelies.

Okay, I know I'm being lazy by touting other sites, but Paleo-future is teh awesome for looking at the future through the eyes of the past, and whatnot. And this site earns toutability by being very cool--so there. I'm recommending a look-see for a perspective on where we could've been, and where the past thought we were going, and stuff like that. And I only just came across it--oddly, through the Fortean Times .
