Retro-futurism
Retro-futurism, retrofuturism or retro-future (terms combining "retro" and "futurism" or "future") can refer to two different yet not incompatible concepts:
1.A return to, and an enthusiasm for, the depictions of the future produced in the first half of the 20th century, which often were based on a lack of scientific knowledge and a great deal of imagination and speculation.
2.An ideology combining retrograde cultural and economic views with techno-utopianism, whose implemenation would result in an increasingly dystopian society in the future.

I think that would be pretty neat, to fly around like a Jetson. Flying SUVs would suck. Skycars flying into high rises.... The idea of flying a car and lsitening to Esquivel appeals to me.
