Could we ever have dreamed that someday, just using our computers, we'd be putting ROMs into a Harmony Cart and then, just by going into the "Atari Room" and firing up the 7800 (outputting S-Video no less), we'd be able to play a Stratovox homebrew (as an example) using our Edladdin arcade style controller?

While I did imagine similar things as a kid, I thought rooms in the Future would be all white and plasticy; Maybe kind of sterile looking,...And I thought there'd be some spots with dozens of blinking lights, Maybe a couple of tape reels here and there that spend their days going back and forth, God knows why they do that...And I thought there'd be way more robot voices.

  It's almost like a magical book where the pages are anything you want them to be. Any book.
  
  Not outside the realm of possibility lately.
  
  But now, what do you strive for?
  
  The original's charm and untenable qualities are suddenly apparently more of a thing.

  Overall, I'm pretty happy, but I don't know, I wish my house was bigger...And I think my hallways should look more like the Death Star, and the walls should look more like Stormtrooper armor, of course my robot butler should be a Cylon, entering the room with a tray of beers for me and my friends, nodding his head slightly as he says, "By your command"...

  I honestly thought as a kid that video games in the future would be holographic...but even with the flatscreens we still have 3D graphics so that's fine.
  
  I 'did' achieve my childhood dream of owning my own arcade thanks to MAME, has to all be on a single PC though since I don't have any room for all those Arcade 1Ups.
  
  And my current house that I grew up in looks more futuristic with the flatscreens and nicer paint job compaired how it was in the 80's...
