believe me...you don't wanna ROBO at least 20 hours before a working day...

Or more.... I couldn't believe how far away my feet were when I finally woke up.

And I am not sure escapism has an upper limit.... or at least not until the nice doctors in the white coats who put the sparks in your head when your bad give it the name of some kind of syndrome or itus.

Myself, I find the past entertaining as prelude to now and try to imagine tomorrow by the same scale. It doesn't always work because I still don't have my flying car or personal helicopter landing pad on my roof at home which is supposed to be kept tidy by my robot butler.

And to the question of why do we, or why don't they, it all comes down to imagination. I find it amazing how many people don't have any. They are usually the ones who seem quite content in the here and now, the ones who go to the soccer games and sit happily through the latest crap-tacular blockbuster movie by Michael Bay. The ones without imagination are the ones we call Lowest Common Denominator.
