Could anyone have imagined this?? Maybe we did, but only in that “there’s no way that’ll ever happen” kind of way.

Today I’m working on a VR headset, tapping at thin air like it’s completely normal.

I renewed my tag by swiping a piece of paper in front of a tablet (pocketbook computer) about the size of a Golden Book. (Do kids even know what a Golden Book is anymore?) DMV trip successfully avoided, that is something our past selves wished for!

Reality TV is playing in the background because, somehow, that’s a completely normal thing now too.

An Alexa is sitting next to me waiting for me to use her as my personal assistant.

My phone is recording.

A robot vacuum is rolling around doing chores while I work in my grown up playhouse of an art studio.

If I hadn’t already cooked, I can order groceries or cooked food right to my door.

Cars can drive themselves..

If you had described this day to 8 year old me, I would’ve assumed you were explaining a sci-fi movie.

Then I can go play dress up and share with the whole world… instead of recording yourself on the family camcorder onto a VHS that’s bigger than my computer.. and no extra storage in “the cloud”.

Turns out… we became the future.
