A quotation from Bill Watterson

HOBBES: A new decade is coming up.

CALVIN: Yeah, big deal! Hmph. Where are the flying cars? Where are the Moon colonies? Where are the personal robots and the zero gravity boots, huh? You call this a new decade?! You call this the future?? Ha! Where are the rocket packs? Where are the disintegration rays? Where are the floating cities?

HOBBES: Frankly, I’m not sure people have the brains to manage the technology they’ve got.

CALVIN: I mean, look at this! We still have the weather?! Give me a break!

Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1989-12-30)
