Although the original show waffled a bit on it, it was eventually established that TOS took place 300 years in the future. Well now that the show is almost 50 years old, it would be more accurate to say it was 250 years in the future. That realization makes me feel old…

The Jetsons was made in 1962 and was set one hundred years in the future in 2062.
So we should now be halfway to robot maids and flying cars.
How about robot cars and flying maids?
