    God I hope we get room temperature super-conductors soon!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    See, this is the kind of space-age sh*t I was promised as a boy watching Sci-Fi movies, and it's starting to happen - and also, could this be part of the solution to a cleaner running planet?

    What I also wanna see is that fuel cell car like they had on Top Gear a couple of years ago, it never needs to be refueled and you could swap the bodies over like a toy car, one day a car, the next a van and so on.

    What Im looking forward is those advanced solar panals...
    They are highly efficient and make the current ones look entirely useless....

    On a sunny day if your roof was covered in them you would produce enough energy to power your entire house with enough energy left over to sell back to the power grid....

    They are going to be AWSOME!

    That there is no flying car is a blessing. You obviously haven't seen the same idiots on the freeways I have, or you would be afraid of them having another two directions to mess up in.

    as much as I am a total technology geek, I think there should be a point at which we should just take a look at where we are going with this. I've just heard that South Korea is planning a bill of rights for robots that prevent humans from abusing them.

    Why do I get the feeling that whenever flying cars arer mentioned, the clip from the Clerks X DVD should be posted?
