In the 1950s, there were promises of flying cars, cleaning robots and self-serving oven appliances … kind of like in The Jetsons. Those times may be over but golly gee, in this day and age we’re just steps away from the future’s doorstep! Here, we’ve compiled a list of innovations that’ll not only knock your socks off, but could send George Jetson to the outer limits of the Milky Way.

Let’s start off with all things music. Don’t you just hate when you’re geared up for a killer cardio workout, have your iPod cued up, but there’s one thing that’s slightly off? Your damn ear buds keep popping out of your ears and you spend ¾ of your run trying to make the headphones stay put? Worry no more! The iXoundWear cap has a place for your pod and ear buds; they’re tucked conveniently in a baseball hat. Guess what? You can even match the color of your nano to the color of your cap … how invigorating!

If you’re a winter runner and like the feel of a cold breeze on your body, you may want to go for the Nike Hatphones. It’s pretty much the same concept as the above mentioned, but it’s made with a microfleece material. It’ll keep you toasty whilst jogging the holiday pounds away or shoveling that wonderful driveway of yours.

Now for the foodies! Do you like breakfast in bed? Nothing says laziness like staying in bed with your girl and chewing the fat … literally. The Bacon Alarm Clock has the ability to wake you up with the smell and sizzle of real bacon. Now that’s good service!

After you have your bacon, try some toast … no, really. This convenient time-set toaster may not be a part of your bedroom ambiance but it’s transparent and browns your carb of choice to personal perfection. That sure beats having underdone or blackened toast.

Not that you need to wash dishes with a pork of an alarm clock or a toaster that’s as clear and as friendly as Casper, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a handy dandy dishwasher at your side. This miniature worktop genie, designed by Ibsen Caldas, is the perfect gadget for the green-loving couple or the college roommates that just bought and apartment together in the big city. Technology has advanced so much that we now have innovations such as this one reusing water for two different purposes!

Finally, let’s focus on futuristic odds and ends … ranging from pocket organizers to surprising cell phones.

Sony has created a whole new face for pocket organizers; the Pocket Organizer fits into already-made pockets of any size, has a hard drive, and an ultraBlueTooth that is said to relay info to the “heads-up monitor” in a pair of glasses. Talk about geek sheik! At the risk of getting freakish looks from your peers at the office or from people you may pass on the street for having your hand in your pocket and a grin on your face, you’ll certainly be grinning in futuristic style.

How about purchasing a pen that not only looks quite handsome, but also feeds bodily information to you within 10 minutes or so? I kid you not; the Liquid Microarray Fountain Pen has a built in DNA analyzer! Fellas, this is NOT your father’s pen (especially if your father is OJ Simpson).

The masterminds at Apple have done it again! Leave those manila folders that you have used to file paperwork in the dust because what I’m offering up next will blow your mind. May I present to you, the Macbook File Folder. This little guy looks just like a real manila filing folder, and comes in an array of colors to match your personality. Another added bonus is that it can also be stored with no problem.

Are you sick and tired of attempting to remember to charge your cell phone … you know, that minute electronic device that is your LIFE! And what happens when you’re caught off guard on the side of the road having to call for automobile assistance with a low battery? Ulysse Nardin, aka Father Time in my book, created a cell phone that uses kinetic energy to charge the cell’s battery … while it’s powered on!

And last but not least, you may need to purchase a fortune telling watch. “Is that possible,” you ask? Yes! Swiss watchmakers Borgeaud have apparently teamed up with mystic and magical people to create such a product. Bad omens be gone, you can count on that.

There are countless other futuristic innovations out there in today’s ever-changing society, but we have brought you the coolest, most manly and killer products around. Go download The Jetsons theme song off iTunes and start your shopping!
