We'll have flying cars in five years...

Well, at least according to Back to the Future: Part II...that and hovering skateboards by Hasbro. (Sorry if I got your hopes up :evilgrin:)



Why is it that people from the not too distant past always believed the not too distant future would be a world away from theirs, meaning futuristic and advanced and a wonder to behold. Of course, I'm not saying our distant future won't be a world away from our own, but I don't think it will be futuristic and a wonder to behold. Probably more like dystopian and underwater.

Can you think of some other futuristic predictions for the not so distant future that have never come to fruition?


(P.S. can you pick out some future prediction misfires from this issue of USA Today: 2015 Edition. Pfft! as if there will even be newspapers by 2015...hey, I just got one misfire. Ha ha,...oh, now I'm sad:()
