THE FUTURE IS HERE TODAY

( -- or what people tend to think of as the "future." After all, the moment something is done it stops being the future and becomes the present. Unless of course, you're a time traveller and can go back to the past where it will once again become the future.... )

Anyway, here are some links to futuristic-type stuff that's really being done or planned now:
