Then I would fail. Not because I don't follow tech news, but because I feel what is being created now is stuff we should have had decades ago (what company is even working on flying cars?).

For example http://www.aeromobil.com/ or http://lilium-aviation.com/

I'm personally are rather disappointed that we still don't have a moon colony. Making that happen is unfortunately not part of my field.

Lots of people, apparently. http://newatlas.com/david-mayman-vtol-flying-car-jpa-intervi...

I am so not looking forward to flying cars, at least not for everyday use by everyday people. I've recently been having dreams of people cutting me off in traffic. Probably because a couple weeks ago someone did just that to me, trying to beat a red light by speeding up and changing lanes to occupy the space that I was in at that time; my reptilian brain and peripheral vision were the only thing that stopped a collision.

I really don't want people doing that over my apartment or favorite urban trail.

That's not a bad answer though - it demonstrates you understand the value of those things we should have had years ago, and might include things which aren't being worked on yet (even though they should be).

Worded properly, that would actually be a rather good answer to the hypothetical interview question.
