Great - But Why Have We Not Done It Until Now?

Leading technologists are busily setting about the task of figuring out why we haven't achieved to date more than we might have expected to according to previous projections in the minds of other leading technologists. Initial research shows that even the greatest advances in technology should really have happened far earlier than they in fact did, with claims, for example, that the tardis-shaped mp3 player should, if we were to think ourselves at all civilised, have been available prior to 2002. The study is anticipated to establish findings with a much higher degree of insight and accuracy than it more than likely will.
