<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Good evening Reddit. 

Over the past few weeks, I been asking mates and what have you, what their idea of the future was. 

We all pretty much agree to be somewhere between the Jetsons mixed with a bit of Mirrors Edge with a touch more slickness to all of it (just a general rounding of edges on things). Most of the people I asked, about my age so we all seemed to come up with similar answers. 

Then I asked a few of my smaller cousins about what their idea of the future was like. They gave me nothing. Not sky high building, no built in TV screens in eyes, they had no vision of a future whatsoever. 

So, this got me to thinking what others peoples ideas of the future where. I expected robots with AI, flying cars, almost (shamefully) an iPod looks to the world in general or at least new parts of it. 

But alas, this did not come to being. We got phones. Phones that do a lot and the internet, but I sort of expected more.
<bot>: What was your vision of the future when you was little / current future vision and how did it stack up to what we have?
