Wooha. I thought we will have "Mr. Fusion" in all our houses and cars in the future... It seems we have to realign the whole Science Fiction genre to the new Green Energy era.

Something else to scratch my head about.  I was introduced to the idea of time series analysis way back when (1970's?). Now it's getting an AI makeover.

Yeah, but will it fold up into a brief case like George's did?   :)

In space there is no weight!

But there is still mass, inertial mass, and that per F = MA can be a bother. In any event I don't think the Jetson's exploits were written with that in mind. Oh and spot the nuclear family ....

For me the real question was the zooming sounds it made, in space. I still prefer Bugs Bunny Esquire vs Marvin the Martian and his now classic lines.

Cheers, Mike.

He did in the cartoon. It folded up and he carried it into his "office".   Oops, they didn't notice remote work back then....

At Spacely Space Sprockets

At Spacely Space Sprockets Inc.  they also made a sound effect for Jetsons space cars so the other "drivers" could hear them coming on the microwave sound systems inside the space vehicles
