Was waren wir Menschen doch euphorisch im Jahre 1999. Die Zukunft stand vor the door, golden times with floating cars and 3 dimensional viewing experience. Some spinners even suspected the apocalypse, the end of the world after the end of the second millennium after Christ's birth and even though mathematically the second millennium until the end of 2000 came to an end, not to mention the fact that over thousands of years anyway inconsistencies in the events were and these had to be balanced and no one knows today how many years have gone lost or were simply added together. But the belief that it is indeed the beginning of the 21st Century acted, mankind came to pass in almost ecstatic realms. Future researchers drew pictures of cities where everything automatically of pay is, tube systems, where one is as pneumatic tube from one place to the next shot with compressed air, and kitchens, with only a kitchen appliance with which you can prepare ice cream, coffee or a five course meal within a few seconds.
Now we sit here in the 21st century, cars still drive on the floor, the kitchen has always send more than one device, and customers are still checks. OK, online banking is not for everyone, of course. So I grabbed the check and agree to our bank. There, I redeem the check and ask how long it will take before until this check has been cashed. "This may take 8 days." Replied my lady behind the counter. "8 days", I wonder in amazement. They explained to me that the check be sent only to the central office must be there to carry out the transaction on our account. Welcome to the 21st Century.
