You know, its funny you say that, Neet-one, because technology is progressing faster than sociologists have time to study its impacts on society and how it affects people.
When I was in electronics class, at my vocational school, they actually showed us a flying car in action, and claimed that it would be about this time when everyone would own one. I think patents and trying to find alternative fuel sources might have caused that program to shut down, sadly. I don't know the details very well, but at the time, it was exciting, and there are in fact other companies trying to make it work. They still need a lot of work before becoming standard transportation.

Space X is trying to start a colony on Mars within our lifetime, so assuming they don't run into too many problems, that's a good alternative to Trump 'Merica. lol
From what I understand, Teleportation will be a problem, because while it could be possible (if several problems in physics could be sorted out), you have a very real threat of someone anonymously dumping an act of terrorism on a city, and leaving before anyone knows what happened. The safety issues are the main problem here, and if you believe in the conspiracy theories (The more grounded to earth ones.), the technology supposedly exists already. But I digress.
Robots, like Repo said, are still coming through various breakthroughs, and will need various more in order to become a full fledged thing, but the robots that we have now really are impressive. Until you look at Darpa's robots with the terminator music subtly playing in the background...
Then again, its not like microchips are going to get much smaller. Like on an atomic level, we still need to sort out a lot of paradoxes and answer quite a few questions about how and why atoms and sub atomic particles behave the way they do.
@Nano: You know, as an (Armchair) anthropologist, I actually hate the term "Dark Ages", given what it implies compared to what reality actually was in the early medieval period after the roman empire decline, but I agree in this context.
But on the topic of aliens, there really does need to be a disclosure soon. Too many people know they exist now. The part that concerns me is that it's impossible to find the whole truth anywhere, so now we have all those crazy right wing conspiracy theories. I gotta hand it to the CIA, their disinformation programs really worked exactly like they hoped it would. Sadly, if you look at it from a financial point of view, everything makes a whole lot of sense. It appears to be more of a corporate thing than a government thing now. /sigh
And don't get me started on the power industry. We could already be using stuff like this! (Its not free energy, ignore the title, but its still a huge step forward)
