It was 1984 and I was 10 years old, at school we had a project to do, we had to do a book all about about yourself, well the last part of the project was to answer the following question: what do you think the world will be like in the year 2000? I was totally convinced that because the year sounded so futuristic that there was no reason why there wouldn't be flying cars, I believed this for a few years and seeing 'Back to the future'(at the end, they fly into the future) confirmed to me that this was likely to happen, then I grew up and got real
