> When you grow up believing you will be driving flying cars and seeing robots help you around the house

I feel like this is more a failure of critical thinking than anything else. There has been nonsense about flying cars on the cover of Popular Science since I was in diapers (early 1980's). I am 36 and I think the the progression of technology during my lifetime has been amazing. If you could travel back 20 years and show someone a Google search on an iPhone they would be gobsmacked. (Or maybe they'd just say, but "what about my flying car?")
