 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23524249Those delivery drones wouldn't last long I fear  And you can stick your 'internet of all things' - the government and the corporations they're far too close to have already shown they can't be trusted. The whole farming thing's a good laugh though... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Pfft. Telepods FTW! Maybe with some sort of guaranteed insect killer alongside it - I understand bugs can be problematic... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Farmscrapersmalready exist on the Orient, Thailand?
I think only robo transport is something I'd like. I would love a car that would drive me to work, so that I could read.

The 30 minute drive to work would take 2 hours and 3 bus changes. With the train it would be a 2km walk to the station, 40 minutes ride and another km to the office. An automated vehicle that I could request and would take me from door to door would be great.
Likewise, when I came out of hospital, I needed to go to the doctor's for a checkup and the to have the stitches taken out. I was lucky, this time it was my left foot and I have an automatic. Last time I had to get taxis every time. Walking to the bus stop wasn't an option. A vehicle that drives itself would be ideal for such situations as well, and if you 'leased' access, it would be cheaper than a taxi and more convenient ban a bus or train.

Should have quite a few driverless cars on the road by end of this decade the way things are going.
Wasn't it in California that recently approved the Google driveless car?
