The point isn’t about the tech, there’s a different balance of tech vs society in Star Trek and The Jetsons. You see, in Star Trek only a selected group travel far and beyond. The rest sits on this planet. You don’t watch Kirk speaking to his robot cleaner, sending kids to school, and flying shopping.

> As Graydon points out, “The Jetsons” was a projection of the model American family into the future.

This is a completely different setting than Star Trek Fleet Command thing.
