Get Smart and Sliding Doors

[tuppence]

Apparently Sliding doors didn't exist (in Australia anyway) when Get Smart was first produced.
And while we still can't shrink our kids, what are some TV/Movie inventions and futuristic gadgets that you'd like to see.

 

[Doh!]

Two words: flying cars.

Two words: flying cars.

Flying cars! Yes!
Realistically, I think I'd want a flying car only if just a few people had them. (Yes, I'd be one of the lucky rich ones. ) Can you imagine the skies cluttered like highways? Ugh!

I'd say shoe phone, but I'm sure someone out there makes them - or *could* make them.

#1 on everyone's list, of course, is a time machine...

Two words: flying cars.

A gentleman named Moulton Taylor created a flying car in 1949. Only 6 were made and volume production was never achieved. See the attached video clip:

Keep cars on the ground thank you. The way people drive cars around here imagine a 16 yr old with a Flying car ! I would take the Mach 5 though or maybe Gigantor but I guess cartoons don't count.

 

[Doh!]

Love that "aerocar" clip! I wonder how far it could go on a tank of gas?

 

[Diamondback]

Here's the thing: to use an Aerocar legally, you need both licenses, driver and pilot. And you can't just take off from the highway, BTW, you need space to assemble the wings and tailgroup onto the 'coupe'--and then you need a runway, which are generally not easy to access with a vehicle.

It could work, there'd just have to be certification of Federal Aviation Regulations compliance by the owner before purchase--probably the same hoops as buying a plane--anyone who owns a bird care to chime in and educate us?

Star Trek transporter..."beam me up Scotty". I hate flying....actually I love flying, I just hate modern passenger aircraft.

I'd want a transporter, and make it portable.

Ah...Then I'd never have to cook again...

Funny about the flying cars. Saw something last week that looked a LOT like the video, except the wings were tiny & attached to the sides. Not sure why it was driving the streets in my neighborhood. Guess they sell plane parts at the mall now? lol

 

[Talbot]

A working rocket back pack like Commando Cody used...

 

[bil_maxx]

The James Bond Aston Martin "Vanish". Such a cool car, and who doesn't need missiles in traffic?

 

[sheeplady]

I'd want a transporter, and make it portable.

Yes. For when I am late to work or a get together. Or a time stopping stop-watch.

Either would make me on time.

 

[Edward]

Star Trek transporter..."beam me up Scotty".

Though "You can beam us up now, Mr Scott" is the closest Kirk got to ever actually saying that,

I hate flying....actually I love flying, I just hate modern passenger aircraft.

I'm fine with flying, modern planes.... it's the ridiculous, OTT security nonsense one is subjected to these days that make me avoid flying when possible.

 

[Wesley Milton Dagwell III]

I wouldn't use a transporter. It raises some uncomfortable questions. It tears a person into bits and re-assembles them - did that person just die and get replaced?

That's far too deep a thought for me. lol
