4 things that make me feel in the 21st century

With all the hype built by legions of science-fiction writers, let's admit that the 21st century has been a complete letdown. Where are the personal flying devices and virtual reality gadgets?

Personally, I have to rely in some few and scattered things that make me feel in the 21st century with their instantaneous futuristic aura, it's the 21stesque touch:

- Calatrava's architecture: His buildings and bridges blow my mind.


- The Sony Reader: e-ink has fulfilled Borges' sand book vision.


- The Nintendo Wii: one step closer to Star Trek virtual playground.


- Second Life: ultracapitalistic society with commandments encoded in the genes (thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal). Perfect society? Hell no, but you can cruise some chicks there.
