The Future Has Been Canceled

So here's 2011. What do you think? Is this what you thought is would look like? I don't know about you, but I want to know where my flying car is. I have been led to believe that fifteen years before I was born Americans landed on the moon. What for? To measure dicks with Russia? That's it? Over 40 years later FORTY FUCKING YEARS! No moon base. Same bullshit space shuttle for 30 years. An international space station to analyze what a fart smells like in outer space, and RC cars on mars. Is anyone even taking this NASA shit seriously anymore?
Am I crazy or is technological progress and achievement happening only on a superficial level?  Matter of fact some of the most successful "technology" companies in this country ( Apple, Google, Microsoft) don't make new technology, they specialize in dumbing it down for the masses.  Pack last decade's computing power into a shinny little case with pretty pictures on a touchscreen and people will sell their first born to get one.  If you can make a computer interface with a dummy you are on the cutting edge.   Is this what it's going to be? Are we really not smart enough to utilize and implement the new?
I say the answer is energy. The richest and most powerful people in the world sell it. Guess what was included in the next wave of technology that we never got? FREE ENERGY! It's everywhere and we have had the technology to use it for decades. What about free information? The same reason there is no solar panels on your roof is the same reason you pay over $100 a month to plug a cable into your T.V. that was probably already there.  Win the future?  The future has been canceled because it's just not profitable to the man.
