As Seen Through My Crystal Ball

“My future begins at the centre of 'Google'. Myself as a fortune teller foresees everything around me. The future being squeaky clean, shiny and painted chrome, not by humans of course! We won't have to lift a finger with our advanced technology, like nanny robots and elevators to other planets. Future here we come!”
