the story from 'Yours in time, Jacks' is set in various times in the future - ranging from 2246 to 2515. there's a lot of technology, very similar to what we have today. my one character, Janie (from 2246) would rather read an actual book than an ebook. there's still CDs, records, books, notebooks and the like because my ubiquitous Retro Movement is all over the place.

sure, there's seat belts that automatically fit into place when you close the door; there's AI assistants, memo apps, and email on tablets, home 'phones' that were the tech center of the home... as my one line says: 'If the Tech Movement had their way, nothing would ever be written on paper, books would be electronic, and we’d all have little screens following us around with our daily reminders.'

but the Retro Movement is based on everything happens in 20 year cycles, so that 'everything old is new again' =)
