Jetpacks were apparently popularized by two guys trying to get government contract money. They ran this insane PR campaign, traveling around the US doing demonstrations with a working prototype jetpack, and it popularized the concept. They arenât really practical though, and I donât think they ever got the money. However they were successful enough to make people think about jetpacks and want jetpacks.

âI know we just missed another deadline and are way over budget, but weâre 90% there and we just need another 2 billion dollars. Youâve already given us 26 billion, and youâd just be wasting all that money now. Do you really want to explain that in your next election, senator, or do you want to say you brought the US military into this future with jetpacks?â

Kroger is apparently rolling out electronic price labeling and using facial recognition so they can do surge pricing (e.g. water bottles would be more expensive when itâs really hot out) and maximally charge you based on what it thinks you individually can pay.
