What do you think the next big technological advance will be?

I suggested to the Wife, rotate the tires on your car, then
had to go to Ai to prove why she needs to do that!

I think she felt sort of offended. I said, “I’ll have a brew!” twis
“Sally’s coming around!”

There is never a Half time tie score here!

Nice idea…

They could be improved further so that they are widened so that if a crook is being chased, or a cyclist goes through a red light :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:, they could be fully opened and the offender could fall into a deep pit.

I read a new self charging EV battery is soon to be out and if so that will be a MONSTER game changer as you drive it recharges .

Isn’t that called a ‘Hybrid’ NCS…
Just thinking about ‘the next big technological advances’ makes me wonder if they will only be for the rich.
The latest EV’s are well above the price range of the average person round here (there are lots of second hand and older vehicles in the car parks) when an EV gets to a certain age it is going to require a new very expensive battery, so my guess is, second hand vehicles will be a thing of the past. And in order to afford the new technology like smartphones and other gadgets, people will go into debt to have the latest thing…I can only see the gap between rich and poor grow wider and wider until something has to give…For people living in the tree lined suburbs with their shiny new Electric Vehicle parked on their drive, they probably won’t understand this post, but if they take a drive around the inner city streets of Sheffield, Leeds, Rotherham, Bradford, Rochdale etc…They will know exactly what I mean.

A hybrid you still need to charge the battery , plug it in but you have option of gas or using the battery .

I went not long ago to look at a new RAV but they only offered hybrids BUT for some weird reason my insurance would go up so did not get anything as my current gas one works fine and I am waiting for this but need the price to be under 30 thousand —

My neighbor is like that he has some fancy car , he is a young lawyer in early 30s but like MOST in Miami he lives outside his means but it works for me because I tell him he either assist me in some of my schemes such as my " creative " taxes or I tell his wife since buying the new car lots of young women pull up next to him and start conversations .

Yes and here lots text as they drive so a nightmare with flying cars but I for one am willing to risk it .

There is talk but so far nothing of Amazon drone deliveries here but suspect rich neighborhoods not average like my area I would love to see that .

Surely a flying car could potentially be registered as SORN and thus exempt from road tax :wink:

I think that it’d be lovely if there were thousands of large helium balloons up in the sky, each with a dangling rope so we could traverse towns, cities and the countryside like Tarzan used to get about.

This reminds me about the old joke about the Irishman who was granted two wishes by a genie. First he asked for a glass that automatically refilled itself with Guinness forever. After drinking a few pints, he was naturally so happy about it that he asked the genie for another one.

I’m glad they have new uniforms as those old White uniforms IMO bit unbecoming not that anyone ever asked me .

I had no idea they had new uniforms but few years ago at a store there were two Navy Officers from SouthCom and I had no idea what branch of military as never saw those uniforms .

I believe the Officers always liked the Far East and getting new Uniform Jackets made in port.
More dignity than chasing chicks too! Ai will most likely keep track of the hot chicks in the future!

The Navy officers I have spoken to who are or were stationed at SouthCom without exception all miss sea duty or whatever the Navy calls it , they miss being out at sea which surprised me as SouthCom looks to be easy duty with office hours unlike being out .
