New Scientist takes a look at “Ten sci-fi devices that could soon be in your hands”.
Yes friends, the flying car is included. Or personal spaceship, or your own jet-pack.
Old news you say? Maybe. But, this part seems kind of interesting to me..
your personal spacecraft could fly into orbit on a beam of microwaves shone upwards from the ground.
Bad news? The inventor says it’s still 50 years away. I don’t think I’ll be able to wait for that one. But some of the other devices don’t have such a long lead time.

Cosmic convergence on the WFFOT.
Now, that was great!!
Hee-Hee.
Thought you would like that.
You were probably the one who recorded and posted it at utube.
Jeebus! I have enough problems dodging dumbasses that listen to the voices in their heads instead of obeying traffic laws from this country/universe and suddenly stopping, starting, veering left or right sans any sort of signal or reason. I don’t even want to think about having to worry about watching for commuters suddenly climbing sharply, diving, and/or simultaneously doing aerobatics on the commute home.
But Swampie, haven’t you seen The Fifth Element?
It’s easy. Everybody just miraculously gets out of your way, irrespective of the angle.

I know…I know!
Practice-practice-practice.
Still, even with my high-tech gizmo, I can’t come close to this guy.
