There was a 'The Flash' TV show back in the early 1990s. One episode had an evil scientist from the 1950s freezing himself to escape justice. When he awakens in 1990 he looks and around and curses. "Where are my jetpacks? Where are the Moon Cities??"
There was an episode of Charmed like that a little later, and the best they could do was cell phones and hybrid cars
I remember a scene in "Play It Again, Sam" where the joke is that the businessman feels the need to call and check his answering machine as soon as he arrives at his friend's apartment.
"We have Doom, Internet porn, and concentrated e-weed."
"Internet porn." That's so cute....

A Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode had two crew members meeting someone from the future:
Ortegas: Hey, what’s the future like? Do you have jet packs or what?
Chapel: We have jet packs now.
Ortegas: I know, but, like, smaller jet packs.
