My two favorite cartoons when I was growing up were the Flintstones and the Jetsons. The Flintstones used dinosaur powered machines, wrote by chiseling on tablets of stone, and rode in cars propelled by their feet. While the Jetsons had robot maids, video phones, and flying cars. I loved the way the Flintstones applied pre-historic life to modern living, and the Jetsons were simply light years ahead of the times. Real life in every age seems to be lived between the Flintstones and the Jetsons, where we adapt what has already been to present living while looking forward toward the future.
