Okay. So we're in the future. That's a given.
But, where are my flying cars, cyborgs and laser guns? Where is my garden on mars and very own clone?
Name and link too some of the most advanced technological marvels of our time, the more futuristic, the better.
I'll start us off with the RoboMaid:

Speaking of invisibility there was a guy selling a supposed invisibility machine on ebay a while back with a whole bunch of government documents.
I'll try and find the link.

It looks like the goal of that coat is to get a bunch of soldiers all wearing them and make the enemy think it is just foggy out.

Foggy and geeky.

The so called "invisibility cloak" isn't really invisible.... the pictures taken make it look invisible

.
If you happen to walk down the street you'll merely see an odd looking japanese stretching his arms, with video cameras before and behind him.

The cloak looks like it has a projector shining on it, a still.

I hate to tell you, but the present is an amazing place when compared with the United States in 1935, the year I was born. The
rate of change of technology is still increasing. The vast majority of what can be bought in stores today didn't even exist when I was born.

There is.
Just yesterday a website opened up where you can purchase powdered vodka and other alcoholic drinks, and just add water when it arrives for instant booze.

Moller have been designing their flying car for years now, I posted it up about 3 years ago after I saw the demo on 'it'll never work'
http://www.moller.com/skycar/Looking at the specs, these things will be whizzing around 350 MPH...!!

Sorry for reviving this thread but I wanted to add links in the "flying car" category. My apologies if it has already been discussed in an other location.
London might soon be getting flying taxies. Hopefully the pilots will have better driving skills than their ground based counterparts
CNN's page BBC News There are lots of links on this subject on the web.
