Flying cars!!

I was promised flying cars by the year 2000.

Where is my flying car?

But seriously though…. Take notice of how spectacularly wrong the predictions were back then about what kind of houses we would be living in or cars we would be driving. Now apply your new found wisdom about how bad human predictions are to all the newfangled predictions being made today.

That awesome! Imagine if it had hovercraft capabilities!

Oh, and I’m sure you’ll get flak for posting a picture with women in bikinis here. Perhaps you should pixelate them, just to be safe.
