Some of those things don't sound so bad. Perhaps science will bring them back one day. (albeit an unnatural and potentially disastrous experiment.) Maybe we should just leave the recreation to Hollywood.
You can't stop it, though. Science fiction races towards science fact at ever increasing speeds. Authors become prophetic, and the collective moves forward. Star Trek alone has given us communicators/cell phones and phasers/tasers, both set to stun. Space stations; yeah, we got
'em. Missions to other planets; those, too. Nuclear subs; check! Eradication of disease... still working on it.
All these toys are great, let's see if we can hold on to them. (we did forget that the world was round for almost 2000 years)

Even in the most turbulent of situations, one is able to find beauty, if one will only look. Thank you for looking,...and sharing. Amomynous
