The Jetsons

In the picture of the television series, The Jetsons, the creator foreshadows the futuristic life of an ordinary family. In the image, and in the entire series, the family's daily lives are consumed by the extensive use of technology. All of the houses are on floating platforms, there are levitating cars, and by the image above their work is done by advanced technology.

To conjure up this idea, the creator adopts the mind of a child. As a kid I, along with many other children, dreamt of a futuristic life where cars will be floating and robots will be our servants. The creator takes these ideas to create his own prediction of the future. He imagines a world where robots become our maids. Also, he sees a future where dentists and doctors do not have to do much work like they do in our current society. They control the tools normally used through a machine that does all the work for them. In the picture, all the dentist needs to do is just sit in his seat and press a couple of buttons. The machines do the rest, and they do a better job than the humans. In the photos in the dentistry, the people have a perfect smile.

Another factor the creator takes into consideration for his television series is the use of technology in our current society. Today, technology has become a big part of our daily lives; from simple things like the escalators to more complex things like machines used to aid scientists in their works. It is more than likely that in future years, people will discover new ways to do things without much work for humans. This means that machines, similar to the one in the picture, will perform all the tasks. The creator of the series feels that technology will advance and we humans will use them for our own benefits. Again, the dentist sits on the side while the dentistry machine performs the cleanup for four people at once.

I believe that the creator of the series is also trying to say that the only purpose humans serve in the world is to improve machines and other forms of technology. He feels that the humans don't evolve as much because they create things that do their work. The humans, like the dentist, will be on the side observing what the machines do. They will not have much importance in the society because the robots and machines have taken over their duties.
