Are you drunk or are you an alien who doesn't understand the concept of a turn of phrase?
I must have missed something, could you elaborate?
You'd be surprised how close to the mark you are. A couple of services have been proposed (rather lame link here http://www.tgdaily.com/sustainability-features/52886-team-touts-underground-physical-internet) that would deliver goods to UK homes with a series of tubes (I kid you not).
I would assume that maybe groceries could be delivered to you in less than the time it takes for the preview button to work here.
Has anyone said "space dust" yet? There's a joke in that somewhere.
Just to pick up on the fingerprint system idea, they don't make that blip as they search through every file (and good grief am I glad about that). We can get a ping on a hit if we want, as in just about any other software for doing anything ever, but the search gets shifted to my / one of my colleagues screens then anyway, so there's not really much point unless your "afk".
Not a "CSI" btw, just a lowly fingerprint tech, £16k a year if your curious.
It's quite interesting that the blipping in films / tv programs is essentially acceptable and useful as a tool to convey an edgy tech setup. I wonder what will denote this in the future.
