Yesterday , The Jetsons celebrate its fiftieth birthday . It may seem like we ’re living in the futurity these solar day , but , half a 100 after the show ’s original 24 episode run , we still do n’t have a lot of that naughty future - tech . Here are a couple of the most glaring absences .
Robot Maids
So we ’ve gotRoombas , and that ’s a start , but we do n’t have any kind of robotic assistance that ’s remotely like Rosie . And she was an one-time model . peradventure if you give Siri a little more personality and cram her into ASIMO , you ’d be about half - manner there . But let ’s present it ; we ’re a long way off .
Flying Jet Cars
Sure , we ’ve gotvehicles that purport to be “ flying cars ” , but those do n’t enumerate . The Jetsons ’ personal petty space car does n’t necessitate any backstage or rotor , is totally ubiquitous , and even has some kind of departure - pod system . Also it folds into a suitcase , which would probably be against the laws of physics . The car itself does n’t seem to be self - driving though , so we ’re in front of the curve there .

Conveyor Belts Everywhere
We walk too much in the future . There are pedestrain conveyor belts in aerodrome , but accord to The Jetsons , they should be anywhere and everywhere point A to point B vitamin movement is required . Of of course , walk is n’t that tough . really , it seems like corpulency in all probability should have been a bigger problem in The Jetsons , right ? possibly they had a widget for that too .
Auto-Hygiene Machines
you may grease one’s palms an electric toothbrush , but that ’s a far cry from a machine that will literally brush your tooth for you . Same sound for shaving , though you have to have a special variety of trust to let a robot commence wave blades around your neck .
Orbital Buildings
We still live on the surface of our planet ; nobody is building floating shopping malls yet . That said , we can still live on the aerofoil of our satellite , so that ’s a good thing . There ’s no telling what kind of hellish , revelatory wasteland was lurking below the Jetsons ’ high-pitched - altitude Sion .
Floating Treadmills
really , this might not characterize as awesome . I think we can all agree the our lack of float treadmill is a good affair . Really , what where they thinking ? What variety of trouble was this supposed to solve ?
For all the things the Jetsons had that we still do n’t , there are a few part of tech we did contend to come up with on our own , like voice control , television chat , and the “ televiewer ” but I ’ve still got my heart set on those flying jet motorcar .
