We live in the future!

Okay, so I've been the most horrible blogger ever! I'm working on the 100th post, it's going to be BIG! But for now, here is number 99:

I don't know if I've changed my focus, or if it's just the fact that I live with 5 guys who love their gadgets, but lately I've noticed some pretty nifty things that make me excited to be living in 2010 AKA THE FUTURE! For whatever reason, until recently if someone asked me about the progress my generation is making for humanity, I would have said we are the masters of editing the past. We don't really have anything to call our own, and I am thoroughly disappointed in our lack of innovation when it comes to transportation. Seriously, watch an episode of SeaQuest and you'll see what I mean. Our counter culture is nothing more than a mash-up of the counter cultures of the previous century!
But lately, I've been very impressed with a lot of things that make me feel like we live in the future! Now, these things did not necessarily make their debut this year, but they are part of my everyday experience that I think are pretty nifty. Without further delay, I present, in no particular order....

9. My parents have a vacuum cleaner that has a dirt sensor. It sucks harder if there is more dirt, and indicates when the area you are vacuuming is clean. Roombas are cool too.
