We HAVE flying cars and jet packs and hoverboards. You just have to pay for them. You can have a moon base too if you pay for it. The future is here, but it ain’t free.
The reason why flying cars do not exist has nothing to do with lack of technology. It’s because of the lack of maturity and intelligence on the part of the general public.
Can you imagine two drivers engaging in road rage (sky rage?) above a residential neighborhood? Or someone running out of fuel in midair because they didn’t feel like filling the tank/recharging the battery? FUI (flying under the influence)? Texting and flying?
I would not want to be on the ground when one of those vehicles came crashing down.
Until the intelligence level can match the level of technology, this mode of transportation will never be approved.

They are talking smart appliances. Imagine having your refrigerator hacked or having to reboot it. Or not being able to use it while it UPDATES!!

Yo, Oliver! I’m still waiting for my jetpack and flying car! (And just where is our moonbase? Hmmm?)

Just what we need – more technology around our necks.

Love the last panel. Check out the size of the operating manual. So true and little Oliver is in hog haven.

Couldn’t Oliver have used a USB stick instead? I know it doesn’t have the comedic punch, but still……..

Imagine it? I lived it. No phone-zombies or text-addicts back then. How I miss it.
