Many of us over 35 might have some disillusionment about the astounding future we were promised in LIFE magazine, Popular Mechanics, and various TV shows and movies. We don't have a moon base or helicopter landing pads on our roofs and dinner doesn't come in a pill form (unless you're Amy Winehouse). The thing I miss most about the future that never was is George Jetson's gizmo that would shower him, shave him, and dress him. He'd groggily step on a conveyor belt on one end and come out the other wide awake and perfectly pressed for the day ahead. I definitely like being clean and shaved and dressed acceptably, but I really hate the process (I'm putting it off at this very moment). It's all so tedious, even if I can do it in less than ten minutes. So I think of the Jetsons almost every morning. And I think about the Flintstones every time I get a meager portion of ribs at a barbecue joint which leaves me longing for the day when an order of ribs could literally tip a car over.
