Why doesn't the "future" look as cool as it used to?

Yeah, yeah, I know. We have computers everywhere, phones that take pictures, lots of fancy whiz-bang medical equipment strewn across the land, so why are we still dressed like 1971?

The 21st century was supposed to look like the Jetsons - what happened?

I am sorely disappointed. Why, in 1961 I'd have sworn that by 2005 we'd've been swooping through the air to space-malls and my clothes would be cool spacey-licious. Um, no. Just look around.

Clothes, cars, buildings were more futuristic-looking in 1960 than they are today. We just look dumpy. Where are the designers? Where are the artists? I want my Jane Jetson-look, dammit, and I want it now! Get me off this crazy thing!
