From 2012 so AI doesn't factor in which would be more interesting in comparison.

Having watched the Jetsons as a kid I remember that George Jetson worked for Spaceley Sprockets where his only job was to push a single button. He worked with a computer personality called Rudy (an AI) who from memory was always depressed and had a crush on a female computer personality of rival company Cogsworth Cogs.

It would be interesting to revisit this with a focus on the relationship and interactions between humans and their AI/robotics.
