    And if you don't find anything you assume that they've installed inductive charging?

    They are even better than that these days, they will pinpoint it in 3 dimensions within a few cm.

    Yeah, those new locators they have now are pretty handy alright. I like the look of an area that has no power/phone lines. I also know what a pain in the arse it can be to fix faults that are underground, but if you use ducting, rather than just trench it into the ground you can get to things alot easier. Expensive though at the moment.

    I just want the possibilities in the tech we've already got, properly unleashed through decent integration.

    There's not much hardware-wise getting in the way of being able to program my cordless phones, MySky, vehicle efi, car alarm, house alarm, etc from an app or apps on my phone or pc.

    (By "not much" I mean no new specific technologies; it's more a matter of the software allowing it.)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    In the same way, vehicles may maintain the 2, 3 and 4 wheel formats that have been in use for since in the invention of the wheel, but powered by different types of motors.

    Seems like the best foods are old traditional foods

    There are billions of unused cells and nuerons (I think that's what they're called) in the human brain. I'm sceptical at sience utilising them before evolution gets us there.

    There is of course the argument, that if sience gets us there, we must be ready.

    the moral of my story is that white 'civilisation' has forgotten what the ancients knew, and 'modern science' is 'discovering' it again and youre all fucking astounded.
