Why is he so mad about this?

Why do people always talk about the future having flying cars? I'm sick of this poo poo. Are you an idiot? Flying cars have been around for 100 years. They're called "airplanes". And "helicopters". Maybe you've heard of them??

But those look different to cars, you say? Well maybe it's loving natural that machines which push against the ground and machines which push against the air would have different designs to solve such different problems. If you were to invent a "flying car" (and it's been done before) you'd just be making an airplane/helicopter that artificially and inefficiently resembles a car for no good reason.

But not everyone can own a plane, like people own cars? Well that's because cars will always, ALWAYS be more efficient than aircraft for short distances. There's no reason to spend so much energy not touching the ground. No matter how cheap "flying cars" could get in your weird imagined future, cars will be cheaper for the average person. So there is no realistic future where the Jetsons becomes reality.

i had no idea what the movie was but i was rackin' my brain trying to figure out why i didn't, when obviously as familiar as the protagonist looked i must have seen it.

I've never really thought about this before but it's sort of remarkable that the horseless carriage and the flying machine were basically invented at the same time
