I was thinking about it this morning. I am Jane Jetson. OK. I don't live in a house in the clouds, or ride around in a vehicle that moves through the air. Nor do I have a treadmill to walk the dog. But the things which always made me excited about the Jetsons was their video phones. Their wrist watch TVs. I remember Elroy sneaking a peek at his TV when in school.
This morning, I was tending to a few tasks around the house with my ipod touch in my pocket. Playing on it was a video of a TV program that I missed yesterday and wanted to at least hear. My goodness, I have become Elroy, too!
I distinctly remember a show that found Jane running to answer her "phone" with a picture to hide behind that had her hair perfectly coiffed. She was still in curlers and a bathrobe. Well, this past weekend, and nearly every weekend, my husband and I set up our laptop in the living room (where the lighting is best) so that we can "skype" with our son and daughter-in-law with the ability to see our granddaughter as she is growing up. (They live in Louisiana.)
Heaven only knows what kind of technology we will see in the future. Perhaps we will be living among the clouds and driving vehicles that zip through the air. I just do not want a boss like George had at Spacely Sprockets.
