We fly astronauts to a space home residing somewhere between Earth and Mars. We live in the Super Bowl of technological advancement.  Fotomat is history, land line telephones are next, and virtual outlets, like "Seize the Deal", at Q1077.com, has replaced the traditional walk-in shopping experience.
