    Most probably one day yeah.
    If you went back 120 years ago and said to someone that we will have planes in the sky, have personal computers in which we can talk and see people from the other side of the world, electronical devices as small as a match box etc etc ... i think those people would of been skeptical ;)


    The technology boom has only really happened in the last 100 years or so. Give mankind another 200 years we dont know where we will be at.
    thats my two cents anyways.

    Back in 1965 the 007 film Thunderball used a real jet pack in the oppening sequence.

    The technology has been around that long. Blame the marketing peoples or the Healty and Safety nutters.

    I remember seeing something about this on rte news a few years ago. Some scientist people 'transported' a laser beam from one side of a lab to the other. As in they actually deconstructed it molecule by molecule (I don't think there were many of them as these things go) and then reconstructed it on the other side of the lab. That was supposed to have been the 'first step' to star-trek style 'beam me up Scot' like stuff. Dunno if they've gotten any further since then.
