The End of Suburbia

I haven't seen the movie yet, but it looks good; very American focussed, but well to the point about how our lifestyles are unsustainable and non-resilient - and how this will not be able to continue for much longer, i.e. we will eventually be operating quite different lives to our current ones.  Many people live oblivious to this still, so its good that they make this very obvious.  Based on how many futuristic TV shows like 'Star Trek' and even 'The Jetsons' used to exist (that seems to have been a 1980's-90's phase?!) we all used to be quite expectant of that, but since Y2K came and went without flying cars we have become quite protective of our status quo.  I wonder if that expectation can be reawakened in the populations that 'have it all-but are still unhappy'?  If I ever do see the movie, I will update this blog.
