On a typical weekday morning around 6:30am, most Jetsonians use flying cars as their main choice of transportation to their work. Like the flying cars on the cartoon "The Jetsons," rather than them having the ability to transform into a work briefcase, most will fold into the shape of iPhone 12G, the 9th generation iPad, Macbook Pro 3000, or 16th generation iPod. Since Apple Inc.'s acquisition of all U.S. car companies (Ford Motor, Chrysler & GM), it remains to hold a monopoly over most of Jetsonia's economy.
All office hallways have conveyor belt systems to help any type of employee get around faster. Those who are blind can use a digital frame reader that will read words out loud from any type of sign. A sensor-like light will detect words and even beep when in proximity. Deafness has been cured (during this time period) for those willing to invest in robotic eardrums, but jobs haven't made further advancements to help these type of handicapped people. These devices can be risky and expensive to have, an most healthcare providers consider them too experimental.
Instead of having soda or snack machines in the break room, there is a pressurized air piping system that will shoot sodas or snacks from a ground/ basement floor or from a storage room (if there's only one floor in the building) and arrive straight to your personal desk. All office phones have been replaced by a type of video phone called Vid-O phones (cell phones are normally called Vid-C phones, house are Vid-H phones). An Vid-O phone allows one to make video conference calls, play media while seeing someone on the phone (for ex., while on the phone with someone, you can play a YouTube video, and the other person can see it as will), the screen comes with touch-feel sensors (meaning you and the person you are talking to can touch the screen, and it will feel like their own hand).
Robots are slowly taking over jobs that people don't want. For example, simple janitorial jobs are performed 5x faster, while some preferable jobs such as technicians are performed 2x faster. For those who have a lot of typing to do on computers, these employees use thinking gloves. When you think of a key you want to click on, the thought from your brain transmits a signal tot he wiring around your fingers, bringing whichever finger closest to snap over like a magnet. These are proven to reduce type time and also the amount of typos or misinformation in work documents.
