The future isn't some sort of projection room in two or three dimensions - which is why it's not the case that, if we all work hard, we'll simply land in the future. Square in the middle of the new media. Future and techno-culture are closely related. But it's a drag that so much is projected on the new media in the techno-culture. As far as we're concerned, the computer is a utensil prior to the future.
New technology comes out of old machines.
To this extent the future has already happened. The new is junk left-over from research and the military. All these machines are trash. It doesn't matter whether someone is working with a computer that is older than five years or newer than a month. In principle, it's all eternal cyber-repetition.
