Hello there, as you know 2012 has passed us by and we're into 2013 and not one single flying hovercar in the sky. Curse it!
Is this the future we were predicting full of flat screen TVs and monitors? Were we also expecting flat screen ipads, ipods and other flat screen tablets? Did we predict we would be driving in wheel cars, and flying in winged airplanes? Also are we going to continue to wear awkward 3D glasses that don't catch on? Sort of but sadly it's not advanced enough. The future we were expecting was 3D hologram projectors like this picture.
This is a 3D hologram projector I was promised we would one day own in our houses. We would be able to enlarge or shrink the 2D flat screen or 3D hologram image. We would have the ability to rotate it around however we want. But did we get one? No in fact people weren't doing enough research on it and if they were they are spending too much money to make it even practical. I hope this year in 2013 we can get our 3D hologram projectors in our homes to watch 3D movies, TV shows and play 3D video games and no more 3D glasses or one angle viewing. And I hope that we'll also get holo-tablets like in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward." Now here's the next thing I was waiting for and that's Treasure Planets hoverboard like this picture.

This is a hoverboard, that's right a hoverboard straight from "Treasure Planet" or "Wreck it Ralph"We were promised hoverboards that would low hover with control and glide on air and be lightweight and easy to carry. Also we were promised hovercars like that in "Pinocchio 3000" or "Meet the Robinsons" that would also low hover and also be able to fly like a helicopter but even better and faster and safer. But instead we are stuck with that crummy air cushion hovercraft and air cushion hoverboard which is loud and noisy you just have to wear earplugs and it smells of that awful gasoline which you pay lots of money for. Not only that the hoverboards wobble and struggle to hover only to go out of control. Also the ducted fan hoverboards and flying cars just aren't safe or user friendly and they have a tendency to wobble and flip over and fly too much like a bladed helicopter. The Moller Skycar is one good example of a struggling expensive project that hasn't taken off yet. Also the "Inspector Gadget" flying car-plane combo of Terrafugia is trying to sell for a ridiculous amount of $280,000 which most of American citizens cannot afford to buy or risk buying. But right now I don't see any of these flying cars catching on. Even if they do barely sell 1 or 2 of them. We aren't going to see any "Flubber" flying cars in our sky anytime soon.
Today we live in a world where people drive wheel cars with tires rolling on the asphalt road and roads costing money to be maintained every year by construction workers and we drive to the airport just to fly winged airplanes. Also the people in the government waste time on stupid pointless complicated politics which doesn't interest me. Also the people in the Government waste their money away over projects that don't work in the long run.
Everybody listen up, 2013 is here and now is the time to stop wasting our money on 20th century overtime junk and start spending it on hoverboard research, flying hovercar research, and 3D hologram research. If these future gadgets do work, we'll finally be out of the 20th century overtime and into the real "Pinocchio 3000" future world. Don't give up we will have hoverboards, flying cars and 3D holograms into our real world, otherwise we just wasted our time for nothing and denied our kids and grandkids hoverboards, hovercars and 3D holograms.
