Nice clickbait though. I remember seeing those headlines about flying cars - "In 2020 most cars will be flying!" a decade or so ago. Such a writers are detached from reality, or their reality is based on their very closed and hermetical environment.

Can you provide some links? Because I can't remember any such headlines. (Pretty much all the articles I remember about flying cars had the tone that "it's much more complicated than science fiction movies make us believe".)

Ugh, tried to found some, but Google is not helping. Those were paper based papers about science and gizmos. I think I have seen some in old Playboy magazine once as well. We are talking here about 10+ years ago, so web was not everywhere yet.

Yes, perhaps such writers are not so detached from reality - their reality being the pressure to grab eyeballs.

I remember the predictions from long ago that clothing would get smaller and smaller until it would be a mixture of body paint and a few scraps.

Have you seen the Black Tape Project?

They've been saying that about flying cars since the 1950's!
