A lot of you watching this video probably grew up believing that by the 2000s, our cities would be filled with flying cars. Take the 1985 movie Back to the Future, for instance, which predicted that flying cars would be a reality by 2015. Even though 10 years have passed since that prediction, there are no hoverboards or flying cars in sight... Why? Has the pace of technological progress slowed down since those movies were made, or is there something else going on? For example... could the reason we still don't have flying cars be that the whole "flying car" concept is just total nonsense? Let's take a look.
