This is a picture of me in 1962.
I was 6 years old and in the 1st grade.
On September 23, 1962 the The Jetsons TV show debuted.
I watched that first show along with all The Jetsons shows.
I have fond memories the Jetson family.

Wikipedia explains:
The Jetsons live in the year 2062 in a futuristic utopia (100 years in the future at the time of the show's debut) of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions.
Whimsical inventions. What are whimsical inventions?
- home computers?
- the Internet?
- microwave ovens?
- cell phones?
- modern medical technology such as an EKG or MRI?
NONE of these whimsical inventions were around when I was 6 years old.

As a 6 year old I would have never imagined that I would "Skype" with my grandchildren who live in Idaho while I live in California.
I tried explaining to my son how cool it was to imagine these things as a 6 year old kid. I never thought that what I saw on The Jetsons show would ever happen in my lifetime. Now I am experiencing many of the Jetson's ways of life today as a 57 year old....just 51 years later.
He wasn't impressed.
I'm just wondering when Rosie, the household robot maid, will be part of my life!
I feel like an "old" person - maybe because it looks like I am!
