Default what happened to cool inventions?
Like jet packs?
cars that can float
mini helicopters called girocopters
Hovercrafts
These were invented 40 years ago

now today we hear fo the flying car, doesnt look impressive but looks fun

But where are these inventions and why havent they been fine tuned ?

Itd be more fun to fly around town than go to space imo....into the darkness with no atmosphere no life no gravity no nothing

but jet packs and girocopters, man then youre flying up high with the bald eagles

Indeed... My first computer (about 20 years ago) had an 800 mb hard drive. The whole computer.

524,000 mb the size of your thumb.
