Mobile phones were huge and expensive, and they all had external antennae.

If we don't get fusion economically viable, and the anti nuclear protestors keep getting listened to, the second coal gas and oil runs out thats our future.

Plastic if we don't find an innovative new replacement, once the oil runs low we'll be rationing that off for important tasks too. There'll probably be some oilless plastic or a futuristic ceramic substance which is just as pliable and formable as plastic around by then though.

As a matter of fact, I do like post-rock, and ambient music's fine, it doesn't have an army of retards claiming it's awesome. It's my opinion that it's shitty but it's more than my opinion that it's for retards. There's no instruments, no actual musical complexity, just a boring mildly fluctuating beat with random shit mixed over it that's simple enough for retards to understand and complex enough for you to think you're super deep and serious about music because you can follow the simple boring shifts in it.

Also, mixing 2 tracks together over a beat with editing software you pirated on your laptop does not make you a fucking DJ, just throwing that out there.

They haven't replaced calculus at all. We merely use calculators now where you used a slide rule and log tables. No more often.

Although some of the people that don't take to Maths rely overly on their calculator. For example they get down to an answer and instead of quickly manipulating it they type the whole fucking thing in their calculator. Then they get a decimal answer and write down every. single. fucking. last. digit.

When it would have only taken them 5 seconds and it turns out it reduces to e^2 or something but no.
