More of a one man war against the establishment but 'The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith' is a underrated Australian classic from a golden era of local production. I seem to recall I had a couple of theories but can only recall the one you are touching on. It’s easy to imagine this technology in its infancy would only allow a basic hovering ability, like the toy hover boards. A hovering ability would however be very usable and quickly spread. The "hover" name would embed itself as a house hold term and if the technology advanced slowly and steadily over a decade or so there may have been no definitive point to change the name of the technology even if its ability advanced beyond what original name proposed. A reworld example is when people say did you "tape" the movie? when physical tape recording is long superseded. I am sure my other theory was more interesting:) I will update this post if it springs to mind again. View all replies >
