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.
This is the World Famous Friday Open Thread. A free speech zone. Track-backs welcome.
WFFOT: “Jaaaaaaaane! How do you stop this crazy thing?”
Heh.
