"The ONLY means of transportation"?
Not a chance. Personal flying cars are terribly impractical -- it takes lots of special training to land in a crosswind.
You wouldn't want to do it on a typical street with utility poles and other obstacles.

Phoebe, I think it's a definite possibility. I can picture aviation getting to the point where everyone owns (and possibly even flies) their own family plane. I will definitely say that aviation will become more personal and direct flights will be made easy by air taxi services and more private jets.
As far as going to other planets or just out in space, I think that's what a lot of people are pushing for here in the US. The company who put together SpaceShip One to win the XPrize is hoping to capitalize off of trips to space for the public. President Bush is also pushing NASA to return to the moon and explore out to Mars. All of those programs make space travel more likely for the average person.
The only other thing that I can say for sure is that it will be interesting to see how everything turns out!
