Well the plan for the dishes is a mildmannered dominated sub for a husband...HAHAA
LOL Utah!!!!! But he isn't home, and I am.....hey, maybe I could just get my dog to lick everything for me, and then I will pretend it got washed! :)
The Jetsons Space car comes to mind:>)
Back in the late 70's there was talk of and anti graivty car that students ( from Virgina Tech I believe ) were working on. they actually made a model that worked. Later there was an idea that the Japanese pioneered called the bullet train or Mag-lift- train. Some believe that they could use the same principles in domestic cars.
All this stuff is on a drawing board somewhere. Seems we're just waiting for the oil to run dry before we bring it out of the closet.
Very true, JoyB and Charles....but have you experienced dreams of it yourselves? No pressure one way or the other, just curious.
Sure! I've always dreamed of the future since I was little. I have vivid dreams to. I have this recurring dream of a sky city.
If anyone ever develops a "transporter" a la Star Trek, they'll have to kill the guy and burn the plans.
Think of the ramifications. . .you could "transport" an assassin into the White House!!!
Wow Nimbus, I never thought of that. Or of how a serial killer could transport himself all over the planet killing folks.
Or! Horrors! Inlaws could just pop in at dinnertime!!! Eeeeeee!!!! Door to door missionaries could materialize not just on your doorstep, but in your house!
We would all need cloaking devices!
I had dreams in the late 70s (during the last fuel crisis) about cars that wouldn't need gasoline to run and that could fly over traffic (I was living in LA at the time). Now I wish they would reinvent the hybrid cars to have more legroom for my long legs.
The Jetsons had it right. But I do see a problem with mid air collisions. How about a purely solar powered car that was anti magnetic. Using the Earths magnetic field it would glide over the surface of our roads about a foot high off the smooth surface to reach its' destination without a steering wheel with magnetic strips buried into the bitumen. Simply program where it is you might wish to go and it would take you there. A child could 'drive' it. I suppose us being humans we'd feel it necessary to have controlling towers spaced evenly along the surface to regulate speed and directional findings. There might even be traffic cops patrolling the streets to make sure you are going in the right direction and that your traffic control computer wasn't malfunctioning. They could give ya' on the spot fines for 'driving' while intoxicated or going the long way round or being so dumb you don't know how to program the computer or sleeping at the wheel. Anything to support the hospitals, schools and other essential services. I don't know how that would work but wouldn't it be nice to just settle into a transport chamber, press in 3231 Jefferson Avenue, Boston, Mass. and let that little machine take you there as quickly and as directly as the GPS and the computer could find considering traffic flow, intersections, everything. Without depending on oil to get you there?
Or why stop there? You could travel across oceans at super sonic speed to reach destinations anywhere in the world faster and cheaper than you can now. I suppose the military would hi jack that invention though and use them to make humvees to land in Khuzistan in about 20 minutes from Washington. They would then be illegle for other poor smucks to own one until ALL the oil ran out. A popular revolution is on the horizon as people are stuck without food or water. The gov. would then help finance the ownership of these vehicles to get the populace back on side. Soon everyone would have one. Everyone would be happy again. And the gov. would be looking at new ways to extend its' hegemony over the rest of the world.
I think I've gone too far here. Sorry.
See how a simple question gets me started? Wyndswept. You ask too many questions.
