The Future Is the Present
1985: I bet they'll future in the future 2017: the present
A joke contrasts a 1985 prediction about “the future” with the reality of 2017, labeled simply “the present.” The punchline is that the future looks ordinary and disappointing rather than futuristic, so it works as a reaction to failed predictions and anticlimactic progress.
