So, seriously, where are the flying cars?
I'm a bit disappointed that we've completely missed the boat on all the GOOD inventions from pop culture of yore, but we've completely surpassed the marks on others. Obviously, I pine for the flying car, because wow, there's a alleviation for gridlock. But let's look at some of the stuff they got right.
Cellphones. Ever watch the original Star Trek? Personal hand held wireless communication devices must have seen extremely out of reach back in the 60s. Speaking of Star Trek, our modern computers already surpassed theirs, as have interfaces. How about those awesome view screens they had...HD flat panel technology anyone?
So where is my freaking flying car. I WANT THE FLYING CAR.
I also wouldn't mind a personal robot maid, though with less sass than Rosie.
