Swarm of Nano Quadrotors
Flying cars, anyone ?
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Gingrich's Moon Colony
We should build a moonbase because moonbases are cool. Sometimes that's a good enough reason to do something. The government already spends lots of money on useless things, like fences around Mexico, bridges to nowhere, and x-ray scanners at airports, but those things aren't nearly as cool as a moonbase.
It's 2012, we should have had mooonbases twenty years ago. There should be orbital recreation centers by now. Scientists on the Mars research colony (that we should have) should be busy working out how we're gonna get to Alpha Centauri. And flying cars, dammit.
Earth 100 Million Years From Now
And cell phones that don't drop calls...ah man the future is exciting>> ^quantumushroom:
In 100 million years, our Matrixy nanobotic silicon-based descendants will be copy-n-pasting entire new planets as needed. We might even have flying cars by then.

Hellooooooooooooooooo, I'm still waitin' on my damn hoverboard.
It's not 2015 yet.
What about the flying cars?
Movies I've Walked Out of Because they're Really, Really Bad: a List (Blog Entry by dag)
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
You'll probably like Source Code. It's a tight SF thriller- a bit on the short side - and a little more mainstreamy than Moon - but still good and validates Duncan as someone who can direct a fairly complicated movie and have it make sense to to a general audience without dumbing it down.
I wish someone good would do a reboot of Bladerunner making a version more true to the original book Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep which had so much more in it:

I have high hopes for Proyas as well. I think our best bet though, for smart speculative fiction on the screen is Duncan Jones. Director of both Moon and the recent Source Code - his next film is supposedly a homage to Blade Runner set in Berlin - which sounds just awesome.

Nobody ever wants to watch Logan's Run with me - but I love that movie so much.
Oh! Great movie, I downloaded it recently to watch again, but it has to be one of those I watch alone as my wife has only so much ability to watch dated Sci Fi (current sci fi no probs).
Knowing had good bits, but I disliked the resolve. Also had high hopes because it was Alex, and, well, shot in Melbourne Yeay for the museum that me and the kids go to regularly.
Alex has done some stunning work, Dark City and the Crow, some ok work, iRobot was pretty good as long as you didn't actually expect it to be anything to do with Asimov, and some dribble... Garage Days was pretty crap.
I'd love to see him get back on top with an awesome, high concept, visually thrilling film again. Dark City is just so damn awesome.
Oh, but yeah, the plane crash scene in Knowing was awesome, very awesome.
Moon was pretty darn awesome, proper sci fi, dealing with 'concepts' rather than just flying cars and lasers. Source code looks cool, haven't seen it yet. But a 'love letter' to Blade Runner sounds ok by me

Draw Muhammad Day II - This time it's armageddon
Personally i can't wait for the rapture, once were rid of those ducheballs imagine the parties, decadence, jetpacks/flying cars and the global peace and happiness that is going to spread around the world.
Hey we might even be able to balance the budget by june (allow for the initial celebration to take a few days).
Making Waves, Saving Lives
upvote for wave machine. DOWNVOTE for horrible idea...do you think getting into a small opening in a tall building spaced out by a city street during a tsunami when everybody else has the same idea is easy? Yea, maybe "up" is the answer when we have flying cars, so why don't you work on that, we're long overdue.
Engineer gets his jones on -- builds town in basement
If only he visited the set of Back to the Future 2, we'd have flying cars and hoverboards already!
Shepppard has finally hit Gold! (After years of hard work?) (Sift Talk Post)
Who? Oh sorry, still in the roast mindset. Congrats, shepppppppppard. So, I guess you'll hit crown when you buy that flying car?
Kinect Just Filed A 'Minority Report'
I can do all those things with a mouse. Ok, it looks cool, but its like a flying car. Totally badass but probably completely impractical. When they show me something that I couldn't easily do with current peripherals then I'll be impressed, atm I feel like any innovation is hamstringed by this bizarre habit of trying to make movie sets. I know I know, life imitates art imitates life etc, but heres another one. Necessity is the mother of invention. Where is the necessity here?
LEGO mindstorms robot gets a handjob... enjoys it
No personal jetpacks... no flying cars... no 3D holographic TVs. But instead we have lego robots you can jerk off... The future is now.
Cool Automatic LED Stair Lighting
2010.
No thinking robots, no 4-hour workdays, no flying cars or hoverboards, no contact with aliens.
THANK YE GODS THE F@!# STAIRS LIGHT UP.
