Yeah right. Where are the flying cars and robots that can do anything that are common in every household? Wasn't this a vision of the future proposed in the 50's?
My favorite is the film footage with Sikorsky showing off his "personal helicopter" complete with grocery basket. In one swell foop, he proposed a vehicle that's more dangerous than a Ford pinto without brakes or seat belts, gets worse gas milage than a military hummer, and has less cargo capacity than a Vespa scooter.
