Hey, I want a clunky 1930's electrobot and a televisioscope for my apt!

Currently reading WHERE'S MY JETPACK? A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived by Daniel H. Wilson. Much fun for the whole family. Indeed, this is a question that I worry about often -- where's my Commando Cody-style rocket-pack, dammit?
