I was watching yesterday the 2006 movie "The prestige", with incredibly atmospheric locales that feel so alien. And yet, that world is but one hundred years away. It wasn't until 1934 that the Public Utility Holding Company Act recognized electricity as a utility.

Less than one hundred years after that, we have managed to juice out a general digital intellect from humanity's joint efforts. Let's see if we survive the next one hundred years, but boy, way to go!
