Sigh ... every morning when I drive to work amidst the idiots putting on make-up, texting, drinking coffee, sleeping, etc. I ponder the state of research into transporter technology. Imagine - stepping into your closet and emerging into your workplace.

Reaching back to my 12 year old fantasies, X-Ray glasses. Even though I'm in my early 60's, I still think I could put them to good use,

Last night on one of our current affairs programs they showed a self driving

car. There were a few things that that you had to watch out for, but what a

breeze to get from one place to another. Here they don't drive - they aim!

It's a BMW. Asked my bloke if I could have three in different colours. Guess

what his answer was.

poohbear, Travel, escpecially air travel has become a nightmare, and in Oz it

takes too long to get to America or Europe. My last trip took 22 hours flying.

I have now thrown in the towel.

That would be great, but I can see the down side too ... imagine the April fools day pranks where someone takes your transporter out of the closet and puts it in your shower instead!
