Maybe we’re impatient, but it’s almost the year 2013 and we at Plan B are wondering why nothing astounding has been invented recently. For that matter, did evolution decide to take the 21st century off? Instead of opening a DIY electronics book or taking a dip in radioactive sludge, we’re demonstrating our impatience and disappointment with a list of the Top 11 Things that Should Have Been Invented/Evolved by Now:
- Telekinesis: the ability to read the deepest, darkest, innermost private thoughts of complete strangers. (Twitter doesn’t count.)
- Flying cars. Flying doughnuts. Free food on flights. Just something—anything new when it comes to flying.
- Time machines that don’t have mechanical/temporal distortion/disastrous causality-paradox related issues.
- Digital newspapers that update in real-time. And don’t smear ink on your fingers.
- A personal robot that won’t turn evil and kill you. And also looks good in a French maid uniform.
- Magic meal-replacing pills with flavors from Momofuku.
- Digital genie that creates responsive websites with no fuss, and gives you a wish too.
- Washing machine that’s also a dryer.
- The perfect chocolate chip cookie.
- Printer that prints scents.
- Resistance to hangovers.
