Oh so you mean like when I facetime with my parents who live in a different state so they can see my kid? Yeah, that stuff is pretty impractical and not really desired. I mean, it is such a complex thing to press the facetime button instead of the call button when I pull out my pocket sized iphone...

haha. dude, videophone is rad and it is here to stay. Voice activation is here to stay too, as there are a lot of things that are voice activated now, like those stupid korean cars that Blake Griffin drives in the commercials.

Yeah, so how often do you video phone as compared to text? If you call your GF across town would you prefer to video phone her or text her?

I don't know what the numbers are, but I think it's clear, people prefer texting to even having a voice call let alone a video call. They are great for long distance situations where you want to see family, but they are not a replacement to phone calls, as many expected them to be. The replacement for phone calls is a text.

so do you turn your lights on with voice activation? I've used a little voice activation and I think it's pretty lame. I can make a call by saying "call home" but I don't. I touch-screen two buttons and I'm callig home without having to make noises. That's what I'm saying. The future is here and we've been pretty meh about these innovations that were supposed to revolutionize our lives.

You didn't even point out the iRobot vacuum cleaners. My mom had one. Eventually she bought a Dyson. They work, but we still vacuum our floors ourselves for the most part.

Flying cars seems like a bad idea all together. Death toll would skyrocket. Imagine the running out of gas in a flying car. How about all the idiots drinking and flying tnto houses and building structures.

Just saying....

Ehhh, I mean, it all depends on how advanced and intuitive the technology is.

You mean there's technology that trumps idiots and drunks??

You talked about running out of gas as something that could go wrong. Technology could prevent the thing from just shutting down, there would be safeguards against those types of failures.

And yes, the technology can make the car easier to use, making it easier for drunk people to use. It's not like drunks don't do the same thing with land vehicles. The easier it is to use though, the less wrecks that will happen, drunk or sober.
 
Bah, they have had flying cars since the early eighties in the rural South:
