Did people really think there'd be flying cars and computerized smart houses?

I am disappointed that we didn't get hover boards and self drying jackets.

I bet that was the first thought in almost everyone's mind. I am still hoping to make my fortune using the sports almanac.

Are we not able to close garages, turn off lights, check thermostat, etc. from thousands of miles away using touchscreen computers we carry in our pockets? Seems pretty goddamned futuristic to me.

The Jetsons flying cars, automated showers and robot maid always seemed pretty far in the future. I think I'm relatively pleased with the technological advances. Where I am a bit disappointed is the level of space technology. Growing up with so much science fiction built around outer space, I just thought more advances would have happened by now.
