When the Future Expires – A Timeline

Putting an expiration date on the future is risky. Take the Terminator franchise: The all-important “Judgment Day” — originally set in the “near future” of 1997 — has been pushed back twice already.

That was the subject of a panel at WisCon, where a roboticist debated sexbots and macho tanks with writers and science fiction fans. Technical writer Heidi Waterhouse chaired the panel called “What Gender is Your Roomba?” where…

Star Trek Is What We Should All Aspire To, Apparently

Of all the plaudits laid at the metaphorical feet of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot, “the model for humanity’s future” may be one of the more excitable and over-the-top, but apparently there’s historical precendent… The Examiner’s L.
