===The Stone Age===
===The Stone Age===
The Stone Age refers to a broad prehistoric period of which humanity is characterized by the use of stone tools, and often marked as a point of which humans made important discoveries such as fire, before the later development of agriculture in the Bronze Age.
In the Hanna-Barbera universe, the Stone Age is most commonly associated with ''[[The Flintstones (TV series)|The Flintstones]]'' television series, which depicted a fantasy version of the period with a semi-modern civlization in [[Bedrock]]. In the series, humans co-existed with other prehistoric animals such as dinosaurs, lived in stone houses and made use of conveniences; most of which are opreated by animals. Everyday life in Bedrock (and to an extent, other countries) is presented no different than the one in present day, but in a prehistoric flare.

====[[1940s]]====
A vast majority of Hanna-Barbera's shows are largely thought to have been set in the 20th century, and reflected many significant events and popular culture during this period.
The [[1940s]] (lasting from [[1940]] to [[1949]]) was a period that saw most of  World War II until [[1945]], which saw profound effects on many countries, and the start of the Cold War in [[1947]]. Some of the notable technological advancements of the period are microwaves, color television, and atomic bombs.


Some of [[MGM]]'s theatrical cartoons of the 1940s, including ''[[Tom and Jerry (theatrical shorts)|Tom and Jerry]]'' and [[Tex Avery]]'s short subjects, were reflective of events and American popular culture of the era, especially during World War II. In ''[[The Yankee Doodle Mouse]]'', [[Tom Cat|Tom]] and [[Jerry Mouse]] conflict each other in pseudo-warfare, with jeeps and dive-bombers made of everyday objects.

===The future===
The concept of the future varies in every instance it appears in each medium. Life on Earth is usually depicted as more advanced than present day, with highly advance technologies such as robots, space vehicles, artifical intelligence and many others. The impact of how they impact human life varies, usually for better or worse.


====[[1950s]]====
It is famously depicted in ''[[The Jetsons (TV series)|The Jetsons]]'' television series, of which the series is set on [[Orbit City]] in the year 2062. Orbit City is populated by humans, who live high above the atmosphere and thrive on technological conveniences, in addition to robots who work to assist their needs. The future in this series reflected traits from mid-20th century futurism, and also shares similarites to daily life in 1950s-early 1960s America (albiet in sitcom form).
The [[1950s]] (lasting from [[1950]] to [[1959]]) was a decade that saw the world's economic recovery after World War II, the development of the Cold War after the late 1940s, and a population growth from the emrging baby boomer population. It is also the decade where Hanna-Barbera was formed in [[1957]], after MGM closed their in-house animation unit.


Many pop culture trends of the period, such as then-popular radio and television shows, were reflected and parodied in Hanna-Barbera's shows during and after this time. For instance, [[Yogi Bear (character)|Yogi Bear]] was inspired by Art Carney's character in the TV sitcom ''The Honeymooners'', which included his personality and vocal mannerisms.
In ''[[Sealab 2020]]'' and ''[[Jabberjaw (TV series)|Jabberjaw]]'', humans have also reached the point where they live underwater via artifical cities and colonies.


The comic ''[[Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles]]'', takes place in an alternate version of 1950s America, focusing on [[Snagglepuss Lion|Snagglepuss]] as a gay playright being victimized by MacCarthyism, while overseeing some historical events at the time.
====[[1960s]]====
The [[1960s]] (lasting from [[1960]] to [[1969]]), which saw advancements like the Appolo 11 Moon landing, saw a massive counterculture shift in ideals in the US and other Western countries, which had revolutions to social ideals such as civil rights, free love, perceptions of military and government politics, and formality. It was also defined by other events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War.
Some of the TV series Hanna-Barbera created, particularly ''The Flintstones'' and ''[[The Jetsons (TV series)|The Jetsons]]'', were also reflective of the decade's trends popular culture in some form, albiet with their own whimsical spin. ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (TV series)|Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'', which first aired in 1969, also reflected these aspects, with [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]] in paticular being modeled after [[Bob Denver]]'s character in the ''Dobie Gillis'' sitcom.
