I know they're not flying cars, but they were once science fiction: now they are science fact. Science is stranger than fiction.

That's quite scary, if you look at all the predictions and all the science fiction about our futures its very gloomy...

HaHa - Funny you should mention the Jetsons as, when I was sorting and throwing out a few old videotapes a couple of days back I came across a Jetsons tape. I kept it. I don't know why really but we do still have a video player and non digital TV to play it on.
