We missed an important Baby Boomer birthday this last weekend. As NPR reported,
“July 31, 2022 — is the birthday of the dopey patriarch from the vintage cartoon, The Jetsons.”
Here’s how the math works: The show first aired in 1962, but was set 100 years in the future. That would be 2062. During the first season of the show, George reveals that he’s 40 years old. So 2062 minus 40, and there you go.”
“We’ve already got talking watches, robot vacuums and flat-screen TVs. “
That’s all good but we thought we’d have flying cars by now. Sad.
