A subscription to Popular Science magazine through most of my teen years did wonders for my skepticism.

We should all be switched to hydrogen fuel by now, for our public transport lines with per person carriages that can split off from the main line seamlessly at speed to go off on side routes to your individual destination, that automatically rejoin the main line when you're done with it. They were talking about all of that pre-2010.

I think I remember the hydrogen fuel thing.

Also, fuck Popular Science for making me think there was gonna be a zombie apocalypse due to some drug that turns you into a zombie.
