What ever happened to the future we were promised?

It's 2014; what happened to all the flying cars, the jetpacks, the moon base, space travel, food pills, the 150 life spans, robots and so on? We were supposed to be far more advance than this.

Oh well, Atleast I will hold out with my iPhone, computers, video games, and flat screened TVs for now. But how far away are we from the future?

AT&T Next or the 2 year contract?

I'm a new customer and am planning to buy the Iphone 5C 16 GB. I will be the only person on the account/line. What would be the differences with the two plans? I heard that the Next plan (which if I get that plan if would be the 18 month one) gives you 10 GB for $100. Is it required to get that 10 GB because I really don't believe that I, only one person, would be using that much (probably only like 2 GB). I'm also hoping to get unlimited talk/text plan as well. I really don't know which plan (Next or the contract) to choose and which would be better for me. Any helpful answers would be appreciated!

Do Androids have more potential bugs/issues than iPhones?

I just went to Android from iPhone and I feel that, although they offer more apps, that's not necessarily a good thing… Apple has certain standards and it's not hard to find a good app that serve a given purpose. Yet Androids you have to search hard and read a bunch of reviews to find one that does things flawlessly. And I think I heard that kitkat has a bug that drains phone batteries and I think my phone is going through that right now. I never waisted so much time and frustration on my iphone. It did the basics and it did them flawlessly without a hicup. Apple doesn't play around with mediocre engineering. They work towards perfection, and ease of use. Life is cluttered with information nowadays that what we all need is a little more simplicity in our lives so that we can enjoy the better things in life.

Should I move schools or not?

I'm 14 and in grade nine. In my school, I have friends, but they are fake. I have this friend (I don't even consider her as my friend) and she always put me down, does not support me, she thinks i'm stupid, and she thinks she's better than me, she decides what I have to do for her, (for ex: she is very close to my house like 5 houses away, and whenever she wants something from me, she asks me to give it even though i'm busy and out the house.) , also, she became friends with my friends so whenever those friends of mine is asking me a question, she answers for me instead of me answering the questions I was asked. One time, we were walking home, I droped my "iphone 5" and the screen was all cracked and she just laughed at it. She's not the only reason why I want to move, there's more, but she was the worst.

Can I use Facebook and Twitter with my iPhone in Airplane Mode?

Next week I'm going on vacation. The flight is only an hour long so instead of watching a movie I'm going to listen to music on my iPhone. But I'm just wondering if I'll also be able to access my Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Deleted music from iTunes but still on iPhone?

I got the iPhone 5s version 7.1.1. I went on my iTunes and deleted all my music, but when I went back on my iPhone there are still there. I tried to delete it again by going back on iTunes but it isn't there anymore, but on my iPhone they were. I tried doing the setting thing. Where you press hide shown music, but that still don't work. I even press the automatically sync music option but that still didn't work. I was tempting to restore it but too much stuff on my phone to restore.

Can you still do things on and Iphone if you don't have a phone plan?

I want an Iphone for facetime, the camera, the music, apps etc. When you buy the phone and the charger can you still do all these things or do you need a phone plan? I would also want to text but I don't think I can do that without a phone plan. My dad won't let me call on it until I'm 12 and I'm 11:( So can somebody give me the details?
