The Jetsons?

The Jetsons was supposed to take place in 2062. Why does everyone think that the Jetsons is so advanced. The tallest buildings in the Jetsons were about 2200 feet. In 2008 the Burj Dubai will be 3000 feet and in 2012 the Al Burj will be 4000 feet. There are about 4 buildings planned in the near future to be over one mile high. Some are even going to be 6,000 feet high. In April 2018 Lift port says it will have completed a fully functional space elevator that is 62,000 miles high! 2018 and even 2008 seems much more advanced than the Jetsons. I guess The Jetsons 2062 was no where near as advanced as 2008 is real life. I don’t see any 62,000 mile high space elevator in the Jetsons. There are just some small 2200 feet buildings. And another thing I have seen the ground many times in the Jetson. I have seen the grass in the show. Why do they say they never see the ground. In the Tv show, in one episode Henry moves the Skypad apartment up from 2,000 feet to 3,000 feet to get it out of the rain but clouds are about 6 miles high which is over 30,000 feet. This is like saying that if you stood on the top of the Burj Dubai you wouldn’t get rained on . Any comments?

Answer #1

I was born in the late 50’s. I grew up with the Jetsons.

Back then it was considered advanced because of the things they could do, NOT because of the buildings being tall. They could fly to work and then have the craft fold up into a briefcase. Also they had home appliances that moved by itself. They also had robots to do housework, etc.

Dont forget now we are living in an age where appliances can move around without humans.

Answer #2

Another thing to point out is that the Jetsons was not created in the 1950’s but started in 1962-1963. The Second season with Orbity started in 1985 and finished in 1987.

Answer #3

Okay I will make a list

Space elevators capable of reaching 62,000 miles high
Flying cars that go on autopilot
Underwater hotels
Mile High skyscrapers
Space Colonies
Dyson Spheres around the Sun and the Milky Way Galaxy
Instant transportation devices
Colonies in the solar system and the galaxy
Elevators to the stars or Steller Elevators Just a few of my thoughts.

Answer #4

I guess that the creator(s) of the show never thought that the world would be this advanced at this place in time. remember, this show is ancient. like from yhe 50’s. you can only imagine so far into the future. they imagined A LOT more than I probably could. make a list. c wut you can think the future will be like, no facts, like the buildings planned to be build that you mentioned above. then list all of the appliances and anything ahead of the real time period in which the Jetsons was created. if you cannot list more, then they did a really good job with this sho, and no offense, but you have no rite 2 ask this if you dont get more. you can ask friends and family for ideas also if you want. I wish u =Dbest of luck!

Why are you so uptight about the Jetsons, they are not real characters. Nah, I don’t believe in anything they say in the cartoons.
