[FMA] What would the world look like in 2015?

What would the world of Full Metal Alchemist look like by 2015? How would alchemy change technology? Would we have the same level of technology today or would we be more advanced?

Theoretical Alchemy has exploded in the last 80 years since the telling of the story.  The Elric brothers changed the paradigm of alchemy; what was once regarded as a dead end field of research with little gain has turned into a treasure trove of new discoveries to be cataloged.

The two brothers accomplished this feat with their theories on Entropy (S), which overturned the long lasting Theory of Equivalent Exchange.  While the Theory of Equivalent Exchange is good enough for most small feats of alchemy, it doesn't explain the failures of larger scale alchemy.

Armed with this theory, alchemists were now able to create longer and/or larger alchemical reactions.  With a precise ratio of materials, energy and alchemical circle an alchemist can create a whole furnished building from scratch.  Alchemists can now create Alchemical Plants, factories that run continuous alchemical processes using provided energy and materials.

As was true 80 years ago, most folks still don't understand how alchemy works, or how to do it at all.  Most folks have some kind of alchemical creation in their home, from cleaning supplies...to their home itself.

Computers haven't made nearly as many strides.  Vacuum tube systems have been maximized to their near full potential, and mainframe-client systems are still popular.  Folks still use the normal telephones that they did decades ago.

Systems tend to pollute very little, and are very fuel efficient.  Its not hard to pollute less when you can transmute the pollutions to something less dangerous.

tl;dr Cars are more efficient and faster, homes are cheaper.  You aren't going to be finding cell phones any time soon.
