I hate to be 'that guy', but technically the new decade won't start until 2011.
True, so very true.

I voted for flying cars, food pills, and holograms. Flying cars will eliminate the use of roads and there for allow trees to regrow,
And kill millions of people, because as we all know 1/4 of the earth's population is retarded....I don't even like the idea of the general public driving normal cars, let alone flying ones. There'd be a September 11th every day.

I wouldn't consider 1990 to be part of the 80s. Or 1980 to be part of the 70s.

I'm all for anti-gravity boots and those rutabega farms of course!

Meaning it might fly away and crash somewhere.

That would make the world hundreds of times worse than it currently is, since right now there's only a September 11th once a year!

A flying car would be significantly smaller than a plane, so wouldn't cause an entire building to fall down.

but think about a ten-car pileup, then a Semi comes by and can't brake in time... then their antigrav generators shut down and the whole thing crashes on the earth's surface.
Apologies to everyone. Except Fritz.
First of all, Fritz, do yourself a favor and research your own answers before you post.

And then a rocket ship crashes into it for some stupid reason.

I voted for flying cars, but I think you should have to pass a very difficult driving test to get a license to do so. Lot's of people have enough trouble driving in 2 dimensions. I'm still not sure how we would get jet packs to work without burning your rear end, or carry enough fuel to go an appreciable distance. But they're jet packs dangit!

The idea with flying cars is that now you have this additional dimension giving you a space with very little in it, computer control systems can pretty much take over. Your average idiot doesn't need to do any flying at all.
