Get a book of 50's science fiction and what do you see. It is a robot driving a big "plutonium powered" truck delivering packages in the year 2020 - yes a metal man.
A robot captain steering an ion rocket from another planet full of cargo. A robot pilot flying a super sonic nuclear powered jet filled with human passengers.
However, there is no talk about tiny quad copters acting like motorized pigeons. Let us face facts, having a robot driving a truck makes no sense. After all, the truck could drive itself like a self driving car. However, those books sold millions of copies. They describe a world with a robot doctor and a robot nurse - performing surgery. OK we had a metal man and a metal woman once again. A multi arm machine makes more sense.
Still, few people back in the 50's saw the power of computers would be placed into tiny quad copter zooming in our air.
