We've Arrived?

Had anyone noticed that we are living the future? In the same week I've heard about:
- Hybrid cars being attached to houses to contribute to power production.
- The Astronauts returning from hanging out in the space station.
- A teenager building a fusion reactor in his parent's basement.

And after drilling some holes in a shelf in my living room I had my robot vacuum it up.

Somehow I thought it would be more exciting.
