When I was young, 2020 was far away.
A distant future that will arrive some day.
What amuses me is that 2020 is almost here,
With none of the futuristic things expected of this year.

I was expecting to travel in flying cars everyday.
Zipping and zooming through a clear airway.
And yet here I am stuck in traffic as I write this.
Weaving between potholes, that resemble an abyss.

I imagined we would be no longer eating solid food.
We would be swallowing only food substitute pills for good.
I was thinking about this while gorging on a huge dinner,
The pills better come soon, so we can all be thinner.

I remember we thought some of us would stay on Mars,
And we could visit each other in space cars.
I know Elon Musk says it will happen soon,
But for now we're stuck fighting with earthly real estate goons.

Science fiction books did predict one of the trends,
They said we'll have more robots and less human friends,
This one they got partly right, we must accept,
More than real, our virtual friendships are better kept.

Between my flying car and my house on Mars,
And swallowing little pills while hanging out with some robots of ours,
I realise one man believes what most of us don't.
Jeff Bezos when he says, don't worry about what will change, worry about what won't.

So here are things that will never ever change,
Our need for discounts, competition and copying others like us, no matter how strange.
Here's my big takeaway from this: If you look at the companies that really click,
They are based on the never-changing simple human truths, that's the trick.

Totally agree with the last paragraph. We just need to figure out what clicks for humans :)
