The final irony is that the people who promised us "The world of tomorrow!" are the same people who developed the world we live in today. Fuck TPTB.

LOL, it's the truth though. It begs the question, how in the hell did we end up 'here'?

Man, I was born a hundred years too late. God help us all.

Think a lot of the hype started at the 1933-34 worlds fair. With how technology will make life better for
all. And after ww2 and with the rebuilding and the consumer binge that started in the late 40's and continued
into the last decade or so.

That was the a continuation of that dream of the 30's and the crash as a slow train wreck over the last 5 or so years. (hand grenade estimates) and the dream v/s the reality of today.

The humor in the video is a dark humor, saying the joke is on us, for watching a dream turn into a unreachable
goal, for most.

So there is humor in the video and is real and it is that the joke is on us.

IMHO

Report: Apocalypse Actually Happened 3 Years Ago (http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-apocalypse-actually-happened-3-years-ago,21143/)
AUGUST 17, 2011 | ISSUE 47•33

MENLO PARK, CA—Though the event went largely unremarked upon at the time, a report published Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation has found that the apocalypse, or end of the world, occurred three years ago. "According to our data, the total collapse of all human civilization occurred on or around April 3, 2008," said foundation representative Jodie Palmenterri, citing numerous instances of environmental disaster, humanitarian catastrophe, and economic ruin as unambiguous signs that the world had ended. "Those who have worried for years that human culture was headed toward calamity can rest easy, because it already happened. We are living in a postapocalyptic world. This is it." Palmenterri went on to say that because the apocalypse does not resemble the eschatological predictions of any major religion, it's safe to assume the gods have all forsaken us.
