The future ain't all it was cracked up to be

Where's my jetpack?

It's after 2000 CE. We've got the computers small enough to put on a desk -- or in a pants pocket. We've got the electric cars (or did). We've got bionic limbs with neural feedback (or are starting to get there). We've got self-heating food packages. We've got clones and robots and spiders from in space and holograms on your money and big red buttons you shouldn't push. We've got lasers that fit in your pocket -- on your keychain, for criminy's sake.

So where's my damn jetpack already?
