Yeah but I don't know that beating up a hologram has the same fun factor as breaking the legs of an actual killer. You're not taking a creeper out of circulation or anything.

Plus what if a real killer went to the movie, you might think it was part of the movie.
Okay... maybe we should only do this for Disney movies. :p

That works better. I don't want to get stabbed at a movie theater. I feel like that could adversely affect my enjoyment of the movie.

Usually I'm pretty laid back, but if someone sneaks up behind me with a knife, I'm probably going to start flailing wildly. It's a curse I suppose.

I expected 3D tvs to be in every home.

For refrigerators to dispense food and tell you when the milk has gone bad.

I expected more virtual reality, but I understand why that's not a good idea.

I expected prettier money.

I can't tell what's photoshopped actually. The bus and scuba steve both look photoshopped.

This should exist... cheap electric Motorcycle.

Range of 280 miles, exchangeable batteries and a charging time of about an hour.

All for around 5,000 dollars.

All you have to do is plug it in.



But really, what I wish existed is a 500cc motorcycle for about 2,000 dollars.


I mean, we put a guy on the moon. We're talking about hybrids and flying cars. Heck I don't care if they invented a private space ship that you park in your driveway. for 1 billion dollars.

I just want something thats about the price of a segway, that allows me to travel from here to Arwen's for not much more than the cost of food along the way.

A monitoring system, detector of sorts that is implanted in you and will alert you with any sign of infection, illness, disease, cancer, pregnancy etc. so you know right away. There could be special ding alerts for different things- like for pregnancy it would like a dinner bell XD

A battery heater to plug into a car battery useful for those winter nights when you aren't near an outlet to plug it in with the extension cord.

Everyone in Montana has a head bolt heater! It attaches to the dip stick in the car. Every night in the winter you plug it in to an outlet so the oil is heated enough the car will start next morning. When we moved from Montana all mechanics were bewildered about what that attachment to the dip stick could be.

We have block heaters in our cars that do the same, keep engine warm. Never heard of a dipstick plug in!

There are countries who support the fishing industry, they buy equipment for the fishermen that no independent one in America could finance. Boats that drag big nets on the ocean bottom to drag in bottom fish must be careful of rocky bottoms, must drag where the bottom fish are. These nations have a lead ship filled with sophisticated equipment, and manned by as many as five men with doctorates in different disciplines relating to fishing. There is a cable they lay out that the boats only equipped with the net, not the expensive equipment, can follow so they can follow the best path without the expense our boats face.

The down side of that is that they are so much more efficient than we are that they come to our shores and wipe out entire species of fish so the balance of nature is interfered with.

Wouldn't be surprised if this exists already. Just would require a fairly modern car is all. They've had remote car starters for years.

Televisions that don't take 30 seconds to load when you turn them on. And that don't take 2-3 seconds to show the picture whenever you switch channels.


Oh wait, we used to have those.

I think the technology of fast televisions is moving backwards. :O
