In 2016 the manufacturing division of Alcoa was spun-off into an independent new company by the name "Arconic". This new company introduced itself to the American public with a clever new vision of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "The Jetsons", this time reimagined as live-action, circa 2062.
Sure got my attention. It's been awhile since I've seen a hopeful forecast of the future where the world is clean and bright.
Maybe I'm the only one tired of the future being dark, dirty and hopeless. Per 2016, the Arconic Jetsons campaign was one of the few bright spots. I think everyone can use more upbeat signs that the future can be better . . . if we want it to be so.
