I guess this dispels the conspiracy theory that aliens introduced this technology to us.

Actually it proves they gave this technology to us - Obviously the film makers were aliens.

It's fascinating how much easier it is to predict technological changes than social changes. The predict email, online shopping, house monitor video, and online bill paying and yet still have the wife as the housekeeper who can't be trusted with the bills or taxes.

Makes you wonder what society will be like in 30 years. I'll make the prediction of everyone being bisexual. I'll also be optomistic and say we reverse the trend of technological isolation.

In todays society, trends seems to play a smaller role. Sexual preference is a combination of social acceptance/expectance and genes. In old Greece/Rome when homosexuality was usual, it was said in Greece that true love could only exist between two men; so I suggest social expectance caused the majority of the homosexuality at the time. Otherwise trends play such a huge role in the future, I don't see how "everyone" will be bisexual. Is there no such thing as taste and preference?
