The internet amazes me...probably the most important innovation of the last 30 years.

When I was young one of the big concepts in science fiction was "the universal library" - a repository of ALL of humankind's knowledge, arts and thought. It would be accessable by everyone and would bring about a great renaissance.

With the internet, we're getting close- you still can't find EVERYTHING on the internet and of course it's only available to those who can afford it. We're getting closer, though.

I heart early Woody Allen.

I would also settle for the machine that Robert Duvall is hooked up to at the beginning of THX 1138.

Other technology that I would like to see:
  • Jet packs
  • Teleportation

even better than just the internet, Wikipedia is making the universal library concept a reality. they are literally trying to catalogue and quantify everything.

if we had "teleportation" we wouldn't need "jet packs"


although they would be fun

that is like saying "we have space shuttles, who needs busses?"

I imagine only the wealthy will be using teleportation for years after its advent. Let them turn into insect hybrids before they get the bugs worked out :D

(no pun intended)
