I believed films that were set in the future were accurate...
I always dreamed of the day when I was grown up that I would be able to use a hoverboard and wear clothes that automatically fit. It is so depressing being an adult and looking back at the childish wonder and hope you had only to find out that the real future is much like the past, just with better hair.

Yeah
I had the idea of selling silver and gold one-piece overall suits in 1999, to be ready for the 21st Century...

as for hair - I think you'll find that in 10 years time you'll realise what a load of dicks you all look like with your carefully mussed up hair.

I'm still waiting
for my personal jet-pack, which we were all assured everybody would have in the 21st century.

21st century isn't over yet.

Yeah, jetpacks
I saw a James May programme about them, and he pretty much proved that unless you have nuclear powered ones, so you don't need much fuel, or you are happy to only fly for about 15 seconds, then they won't happen.
