Execute order 66... and pick up some milk

It seems amazing to me the pace that things go from science fiction to products on the market. Telecommunications, medicine, our understanding of the universe, ... everything.

So when I watch something set in the "future", I wonder how long until we get there. In episode 3 of Star Wars when Order 66 is communicated to Commander Cody via a hand held holo projector, I wonder how long until I'll have access to my very own holo projector. Then my thoughts wonder to what something like that would be used for most of the time. Things along the lines of "pick up some milk on your way home" and "see you at soccer practice"

I giggle (inside) when I imagine the Emperor with his raspy voice saying "Remember to grap some take out on your way home, Commander"

Good times.
