I don't need a hovercar

Sometimes it hits me just how jaded we have become.

Technology is advancing so quickly that we just sort of expect it, take it for granted or focus on the continued minor inconveniences. A couple years back, I fell into a brief stint of all-consuming veneration of my iPod, not because I possess that all-too-prevalent consumerist need to flaunt

i just don't believe there isn't already something in existence that does that...

Not that I know of. I mean, there's the Air Car, but that's still not a real fucking hover car.

These folks used to make what you're looking for:

But now all I see is them hawking PC to TV.

I love my TV to TV, it's how I keep up with my stories while doing the dishes.

I was somewhat obliquely referencing the paradoxical fact that, where other devices moved from wires to wireless (such as the telephone), the TV actually started out wireless from the get-go and has instead gone wired in the vast majority of homes.

I should have known, however, that there would be innumerable techie solutions to my dilemma by now.

I did get that, but was also concerned about your toilet viewing pleasure.

You response presumes there's no pleasure to be found in viewing what's going on in my toilet bowl.

It's like Jackson Pollock down there.
