can’t wait to be invisible

i’ve been seeing a lot of news articles talking about how invisibility technology is almost here. sign me up. i’ve been wanting to be invisible for… ever. i’ve mastered “hiding in shadows” and now i just need the ultimate reality of never being seen by anyone. it would mean that no one would shoot me or ask me if i play basketball. it would mean i could be free to go out during daylight hours.

now that we can almost check off invisibility from the list of 21st century necessities, i’ve got to wonder when flying cars and teleportation will be available. given that the automobile industry is seriously fucked right now, and the only innovation coming out is the slightly more fuel efficient hybrid car, i’d say it will be awhile before flying cars get off the ground. they still need to tackle the whole “renewable energy” problem, which is hard with oil companies needing their profits at the expense of the world.

teleportation is easier, but it’s too much like cloning and god doesn’t like us to do that. plus you’d probably have to die in order for your teleported self to be alive on the other end without “complications.” then the whole question of what happens to your soul must be asked. where does it go? are you dead but your new rubber corpse lives on, zombie style? and what happens if a fly sneaks into the beginning pod chamber with you? jeff goldblum knows and he would rather we just forget about teleportation altogether.
