The first c ommercial jet pack  available for the small price of $68,000 , the first ever Apple iPad   was introduced ,  a  push for  space tourism by Virgin Galactica ,  the  nPower  PEG charg ed  handheld devices for $1 25...all available in 2010 1 .   How has this technology evolved since?  Apple is now selling  the 7 th  generation of the iPad   (has since added on the iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad pro)  and portable chargers can be  purchased  on Amazon for as little as $15. And for the jet pack? Well, like all the "cool" tech like the  hoverboard and Segway , it   couldn't   retain  interest from the  average  consumer   nor did they have  $68k  waiting   to  purchase  a jet pack.   Jet packs also compli cate air transportation  among safety issues  like  a failed engine during flight... they're  nothing but entertainment today.
