Family Guy nailed it in one of its time-travel episodes:
Young Stewie: "I can't believe it – this is the future! ...Wait a minute. Everything looks the same."
Old Stewie: "Well, of course. It's only been 30 years."

Oh those cars will be flying all right. We see articles all the time about cars flying onto roofs, into pools, off parking structures....

Those look exactly the same, and the same as early sci-fi magazines from 1930's were predicting.

Open the lid on your apartment dumpster. Look inside. You have now seen the future.

So AI is now reading old Jetson's sketches?

I wouldn't live in a high-rise. Or any place that had either a Board, or H

Anyway, buy 2050, all the coastal cities will be under water.

It's all just an attempt to distract you from the reality that the Sun's nova in 2046 and will then rotates 90 degrees and starts to rotate in the opposite direction, so yeah there's gonna be a lot of "under-watering" going on, everywhere!

And fusion power will be just 20 years away.

I am just thinking how much all my signed, first-edition, hardback Dave Barry books will be worth by 2050? I have been telling my kids that their inheritance will be worth millions by then. Not only is there a great literary treasure therein but they are filled with so many real-life practical tips like: compression cleaning of laundry, vacuuming a carpet with a 2x4 piece of lumber, the strategic value of indoor-outdoor carpet, and well, too much to relate here. Suggest you buy the books before you can't anymore.

Lots of cities are already occupied by lushes.

So does this mean all our calibrated means of expressing measurement will have to be upgraded to describe the size of stuff in future times, for example will asteroid size be stated in the size of xxxxx number of flying garbage trucks? Or when polar bears cross breed with penguins there will be polar penguins, for example, or python/alligator products (pythonators, allithons?)
