What? Actually the flying car? Sure, even the soaring vehicle, which exists as a hybrid vehicle / airline that's about 36 months far from the market. Don't trust in me? Bing it (after you've finished looking over this article).

But many of these things have, in one of the ways or yet another, come to pass, not to mention some little ol' things "The Jetsons" didn't predict, such as the pc and the internet.

Even though it won't be produced to buy to the general public until next season, it's already getting some angry pushback from persons disturbed by the invasion-of-privacy implications of Glass wearers being able surreptitiously to video-record or photograph them, who have coined the term "Glassholes."

Google's competitors, including Sony, Nokia, Microsoft and Apple, among others, are speeding to enhance on something that isn't actually accessible for purchase yet.
