Internet, the 'best' thing we've got today at home?

In the late 1970s, when I was a kid, I used to think what would life in the future be like? Inspired by loads of sci-fis like 'Lost in Space' and 'Star Trek' and fostered by the 1970s atmosphere when the US and the Soviet Union were in the space race, I imagined that life in the year 2000 would be totally different from the one we had in 1970s. I envisioned that robots in the year 2000 would be ubiquitously available in the market to help us doing all kinds of works, from the most laborious works down to the trivial ones. But that's not all, space travels would be very common in the year 2000, and we would fly within a modern flying saucer to make interplanetary tours. And the clothes we wear would be something like the astronouts' outfits, metallic and lustrous!

But now, 7 years after the turnover of the millennium, what is the 'best' or the 'most advanced' technology that we've got at home? Internet? PCs and laptops? Cellphones? DVD Players? Digital (Video) cameras? Plasma/LCD screens? What else do you think that we did not see in the 1970s but we do have it today? Can you think of something else? Never mind! It is of no importance, besides this is also only a frivolous posting!
