I was watching the Ascent of Man the other day, which is a miniseries from the early 70s. It has some simplistic wire-frame computer graphics, and the people credited for the animation both have "Dr." in front of their names. Today, I could do the same graphics in an afternoon with a piece of CAD software. An actual animator could probably crank them out in an hour.
The future is awesome. It's the use we make of it that's maybe not-so-awesome.
