2) Most all of these are unrealistic and sort of a wish list for the people. During the time of fast developing technology, many people had a a broad creativity in their mind.

3) Some variations have happened, but many on a lesser and more intelligent scale. Planes are not flapping wings, but we have not made flying cars yet. We have gone to the moon, but it is not like taking a subway to New York City.

It will become so advanced that the human race should not be trusted with it as soon we will destroy ourselves because of irresponsibility. I feel like we will either run out of fossil fuels, or try to find a way to make them obsolete.
