I ask myself that question on a daily basis. We were promised jetpacks and robots that were humanoid and did all the housework. I demand satisfaction. Call themselves a bloody Coalition when we haven't even got jetpacks? Pah!
In 1949 I had great expectations. I'm still waiting. I drive a Ford that is not much different than my 1936 was. The technology of flying is mired in the 40's.
