When I watched Back to the Future Part II (or any futuristic movie really) when I was a kid, I was excited about the future and what exciting gadgets we were going to have. From flying cars, hoverboards, and robot butlers, the future looked promising. Save the hoverboard, many of these cool things now exist; but unfortunately they also cost a lot of money. A LOT…of money! But that won’t stop me from dreaming about having these gadgets. Or keep begging for a very huge raise. Or keep playing the lottery. These are some of the things are on my wish list:
- Flying Car – This is something out of Transformers. This Flying Car can convert from a street-legal automobile to a light sport aircraft in 30 seconds. The 100 hp, four cylinder engine can power the three=bladed propeller for a maximum airspeed of 115 mph and power the rear-wheel drive above 65 mph on the road. Where this car is going, you may not need roads, but you will definitely need a pilot’s license. This all for a retail price: $350,000. (http://www.hammacher.com/Product/11812)
- Interactive Pool Table- A pool table that has been updated to the modern digital times. Every movement of the pool balls is tracked in high definition real time. You can even select the themes which leaves many possibilities. It has been featured in such places as the Paradise Tower Penthouse, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and the Esquire SoHo apartment. This all for a mere $25,000. (http://www.obscuradigital.com/products/detail/cuelight/)
- Waterjet – Did you ever dream of flying? Now you can have that dream come true! The water Jet pack can lift you up over 20 feet high and thrust forward at 22 miles per hour. You will be like the Rocketeer! All of this for a price of $130,000. (http://www.jetlev-flyer.com/en/62868-Where-to-buy)
- Self controlled tow boat – You won’t have to get a boating license, you don’t even have to a boat! If you want to water ski, you can go anywhere! You can water ski anywhere with the unmanned water skiing boat that is entirely controlled by you. The unmanned skier boat holds up to six gallons of gas. It also automatically shuts off if the skier lets go of the handle. Retail price: $17,000. (http://www.hammacher.com/Product/11838)
- Dolphin powered boat- Ditch that waterjet! You can enjoy and see the ocean just like the dolphins do, by constantly submerging and launching at a high speed. This just for a mere price of $65,000. (http://seabreacher.com/)
