Here we are, in 2022.
All things that would have made our forefathers' heads explode.
But, dammit, we were promised more!
Where are the flying cars ofThe Jetsons?
TheStar Trektransporters?Soylent Green?
Actually, scratch that last one.

Just one thing, though.
Can you imagine, then, adding a third dimension to the path of a car?
And what would you call ‘road rage’?

Nevertheless, it would still be pretty sweet.
The Mattel toy that every kid had on their Christmas wish list in 1989.
The hoverboard looked amazing, with Marty McFly (Michael J.

Fox) making it look easy, and it was real!
Actually, it wasn’t.
But gullible, hopeful kids grabbed onto it.

So while unlikely, we’ve got people on it!
Multifunctional is a gross understatement.
This one is a long shot, but maybe Craftsman is working on it?

How does it work?
Say you see an alien walking across your front lawn.
It was a duck."

Remove the memory, replace the memory with something else.
Just think of it… “Don’t you remember, honey?
Fun fact: Scientists have created one thaterases memories from mice!
KITT in the Knight Rider Franchise
First, it’s a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.
Secondly, it talks.
Thirdly, it’s smarter than most people you know (not you, dear reader).
Fourthly, it’s got that dead awesome red light that goes back and forth.
Fifthly,it drives itself.
Who doesn’t want a KITT (William Daniels) of their very own?
In theory, a KITT could be put together today.
Laser Guns (Various)
Star Trekphasers.Star Warsblasters.BraveStarr’s “Neutra-laser” pistol.
All the same thing, a gun that shoots a deadly ray of light instead of a bullet.
Lasers already exist, but what are we using them for?
What a waste when we could be striking down our enemies with a well aimed beam of death.
But only three times a year.
Still, to know the outcome of a decision, or action, would be undeniably helpful.
Say… you don’t suppose Marvel Studios alreadyhasone, formulating the storylines of theWhat If…?series?
Damn you,Kevin Feige, share it with the world now!
Lightsabers the Star Wars Franchise
Every kid from the 1970s up had a lightsaber.
