What if all stories were written like science fiction?

This is what would happen! http://www.shrovetuesdayobserved.com/flight.html

My favorite part:

?Do you think we?ll be flying on a propeller plane? Or one of the newer jets?? asked Ann.

?I?m sure it will be a jet,? said Roger. ?Propeller planes are almost entirely out of date, after all. On the other hand, rocket engines are still experimental. It?s said that when they?re in general use, trips like this will take an hour at most. This one will take up to four hours.?

I'd probably read even more than I already do.

They selected one of the hydrocarbon-powered ground transports from the queue which waited outside the airport. The fee was small enough that it was not paid electronically, but using portable dollar tokens

Haha, that's actually pretty funny.

It's making fun of the way scifi is written-- elaborating on technological things that wouldn't be elaborated on in real life, referring to things by futuristic sounding names, etc.
