Hi
Agreed, that's not even close to the trope. +1 to pull.
No, the other one.
I wanted to take a grab from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, since the hoverboard stage there takes place in the far future of 2020, but the year only shows up in the beginning on a mostly black screen, and when you clear it, but it's rather hard to see, especially at wiki-size.
Oh, and pull the current. The alien robot in the background kind of diminishes the image as well.

It's an 80's depiction of what 2005 was supposed to look like. I don't see how it's harming the page.
Honestly, I think part of the problem is I'm a little unsure what I Want My Jetpack is supposed to be at this point.
Examples seem to be pretty clearly about characters within works saying "man, I thought he'd have lasercars by now." If that's the case, why is that only one tiny line in the description, when the rest is all analysis or description of other stuff? In fact, from the description, it sounds more like it should be about an audience reaction where people are responding to works saying "why don't we have this yet?"
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
No, the other one.
That's an improvement, at least.

It's definitely better... if the trope is about the work itself having an unrealistic portrayal of the future, which does run very much counter to the examples.

Larkmarn has a good point. This trope does seem to be mostly an audience reaction rather than being part of the plot.

Current image is bad. Nix it.
Hi
Clock is set.
Hi
Re-clocked to see if we can get any more consensus on whether or not to pull the current.

Pull, definitely.

I edited to return the article to its thesis. Just about any image of a jet pack
would be an improvement.

Hi
Looks like we've got enough consensus now to pull the current. The page is tagged; locking up.

The image is of a guy with a hoverboard, flying down a canyon. Nothing about this indicates anything about the trope. Motion to pull.
