Society. Where are my:

[AtheistGuy]

Where are my jetpacks, flying cars, affordable space ships? Where is my house in space, my underwater city? Where is my moon base and my condo on mars? Where is my NZT [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampakine] (Points if you get the reference) ? And why do we not have optical computers yet?

I figured I'd do this since a video with a similar theme was put up. You have any questions you'd like to add to this?

Welcome to the future.

It's not as cool we'd thought it would be.

 

[GabeTheOptimist]

Here's your jet pack

and you used to be able to buy flying cars but they looked horrible and they didn't have a very large market.

As for Me: I already have everything I need.

Well the film explained why NZT wasnt good (i never read the book)
although they should obviously just make it without any annoying side effects.. obviously.

If you follow the link you see they're doing just that. Minus the turning you into an instant genius. It boosts concentration, learning capability, memory, etc. With effects staying after the drug is removed from the body. All this with no long-lasting side effects (Which is rare for mind-altering drugs)

Dear Society,

P.S. Live to win, society.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Where's my opportunity to save mankind from extinction and secure for myself a love interest?

 

[AtheistGuy]

Eh, I'm happy with what I have.

I hope these are joke topics and that video was a joke as well.

Nope it was a thread that was happening tonight whether or not Movie Bob posted anything.

Interesting.. although like everything awesome and sciencey if the research ever gets anywhere it'll end up being condemned by right wing nutjobs who think will smith science is going to bring about the end of the world [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480249/synopsis]

Too bad NZT is impossible because we actually do use more than 20% of our brains. If we used more than that at a single time, it would be akin to a computer inputting 1's where there should be 0's.
