Recap
Phil laments to Keely that he has to paint the garage door. The two stand in the driveway, and Phil uses a futuristic device to instantly change the color of the door. The gadget fascinates Keely, who begins putting various designs on the door before asking Phil what people in the future did for fun if they considered that work. Phil lists off various activities such as remote comet racing, but he loses Keely when he mentions going to the mall. Keely marvels at the possibility of a future mall before Phil says she could go to a mall, virtually, using his Virtu-Goggles. Keely gleefully agrees, setting a "date" for the two of them...Read the full recap
Episode Notes
New gadget: Virtu-Goggles, which are used to experience how it would feel to visit any place in the world in a virtual reality. A similar device with a helmet is seen in Future Tutor, but it is not mentioned by name, and is largely used there for educational purposes instead of recreational.
Future Life: Parents realized that working their children like robots in their spare time was barbaric, so in 2016 chores were abolished.
Working hard, or hardly working? Lloyd uses the Virtu-Goggles when working on the time machine to get away and actually owns a restaurant in a twenty-second century virtual mall. He can even be seen when Robby first greets Keely and Phil when they walk into the Paradise Cove.
Design Flaw: Robby's power switch can be activated or deactivated by putting an object up his nose.
