2010 Is Here! Where’s the Monolith?

The year 2009 is slowing winding down and we are now approaching 2010.  A few weeks ago, I was watching HDNet and they had on the movie “2010 – The Year We Make Contact“, and was thinking how “2010″ will NOT be like 2010. We don’t have super intelligent HAL computers, we don’t have a manned space flight to Jupiter, there is no monolith hanging out around Jupiter, and most interesting Russia no longer exists — at least how the Soviet Union was depicted when the movie came out.   Two things struck me odd as I was re-watching the movie:

1. As a 13 year-old boy I vividly remember watching that movie thinking my future will be something like this in 2010.  Unfortunately fiction sometimes does not match reality.
2. The movie came out in 1984 (over 25 years ago) and thinking what goals and dreams I’ve had in the past 25 years.  What have I achieved and what things I still want to do.
