Calling home on a video phone. It all seemed perfectly reasonable, given the technology at the time, and extrapolating 30-odd years into the future. I'm still trying to figure that one out myself.

Statistics are funny that way.
Which brings me to the results of last weeks poll regarding the future direction of this column. I have to admit, I was pretty depressed about the results over the weekend. Then, Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend pointed out something that I hadn't considered. Viewed through that particular statistical lens, the situation wasn't so dark. So, those are the areas which will see concentration over the next couple of weeks.
