Agreed. Why is every future always depicted with us suddenly losing all fashion sense and running around in unitards with dorky boots? Its a problem that's plagued sci-fi and futurology since at least the 20's as far as I can tell.

My vision of the future is that we've enabled such accurate control of our environments and such precise manipulation of our genes that we are all naked, all of the time, and its OK.

I figure about as far off as Bermuda shorts are from Speedos.

And dang it, where's my flying car?
