So you don'thave a hoverboard... by rbartrop
You don't have to wait in line for your Soylent ration, or fight mutants in a post-nuclear hellscape either. Getting the future wrong isn't necessarily a bad thing

Someone did build one actually. http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Tech-startup-Arx-Pax-introduces-hoverboard-5838338.php

I've seen that, and it's a hoverboard in the same way this is a car.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP_oQHYmdRs

having driven in traffic inLos angeles, I am not confident in the average driver's ability to control and use a flying car. On the other hand, public transit blows. XD.

I've hear this chesnut numerous times, but people are working on the idiot proofing as we speak. The flying car may be closer than we think, and we're already seeing it in miniature form flitting about parks and back yards all over the continent.

I do have to compliment that guy in Ontario that for the Hoverboard working like it should over that pond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqcKL2G2Ews. Still a flying car, that would be idiot proof, is more like a flying pod that is mostly autonomous, rather than a car with wings.

As long as you can still control where it goes, it still counts. In any case, automobiles seem to be heading that way too.

At least we won't be alive in 300 years to not see starships, warp drives, Vulcans, Klingons or Greenpeace space probes looking for whales. =P

And just because the future isn't as bad as it could be doesn't mean it can't, and shouldn't, be better.
