I'm sure that everyone had a dream when he/she was little,like wanting to fly,wanting to be a certain superhero and so on.Let's analyze this for a moment.
Supposing you grow wings like in the movies; you have wings and you are able to fly.Will that put an end to traffic?No more cars/plains?Well since with the wings you'll reach a top speed of about 60 mph(100kmph) you'll take a plain if you want to travel long distances fast.Also how long will you be able to fly?There won't be fat people anymore? who are able to fly for 100 meters after having to rest? How about flying over an industrial zone,"mmmm noxious fumes"(Johnny Bravo).
How about swimming with the fishes?Same deal.Not fast enough for the 21st century,it's gonna be hard to talk on the phone or browse the web underwater.Also there are oil spills,garbage from ships,yuck totally nasty I daresay.
Hmmm what else did we dream about as infants,what power did we want to have?How about being a real superhero for once.Well that's not too bad,except the economic crisis that will stretch your moral superpower to the limit,not having enough money from "saving the day",if only love could "cure" world hunger.Not to mention a tons of governments wanting to know the secret of your power so they can "help" their countries.
Vampire maybe? Well if I were one I'd want to have my victims tested for HIV,Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E,I'd probably have to make my own blood bank,exciting eternal life.
What happened to our childhood dreams? Did we grow up and realize that it's just not possible,or did we grow up and realize that it's just not possible anymore?
