I always find historical predictions of the future fascinating and it's interesting that physically at least, nothing much changes in real life. There are no massive differences in the way we live - we are still in the same houses, drive around in cars, work in offices etc. Technology is obviously improving all the time but it's never in such obvious or striking ways as living on the moon or living underwater.
I'd guess that in 30 years time, things will look broadly the same, just with subtle differences. I doubt we'll have flying cars, nuclear ovens, self tying shoes etc. I wonder if we'll still have PH?

True, now - but things did change a lot from say 1950 to 1980; it's just that since then, little about the world around us has changed - aside from the rise of the internet and mobile phones. But before then you had major changes in lifestyle (cars, tvs, fridges/freezers, supermarkets all becoming commonplace to name but a few). In the 70s and 80s there was an expectation that progress would continue at the same pace, and of course it didn't.I'd guess that in 30 years time, things will look broadly the same, just with subtle differences.

Spurs fans will still be convinced that this year they'll finish in the top 4.TwigtheWonderkid said:

In the film they hydrate a pizza hut pizza, looks great.
Why is it though a family of 5 or 6 sit down to one pizza and have one slice each for tea.....its always bugged me.

On average there are: 6 slices per small (8-10") pizza, 8 slices per 12 inch pizza (medium), 10 slices on a large (14-16") pizza and 12 slices on an extra-large pizza.

its a small pizza
I remember at the age of 13, going to see this with my mates at the cinema: just an amazing film. come to think of it, the 80's were a great time for great films.
I'm trying not to google, but in respect of technology, this is a fact that still surprises me: I believe in 1979, only 1/3 of the UK's households had a telephone at home. Even by 85, we didn't live in homes bursting with what we have now.
VCR's, microwaves, CD players were still very expensive and relatively rare.
In 87 I got a sony seperates CD player, it was £200 !!!
Technology now, is absolutely dirt cheap.
