Can yall take one more week of car stuff? Stay with me Ashley . . . LOL

I ran across this article on flying cars. Remember George Jetson? Or is he before yall's time? Anyway, it has been predicted for a very long time that future travel would take place in the air. I'm not sure how I feel about that. What kind of specialized training will we have to have? How expensive will the cars be? Also, if you make a mistake when you're driving in the air the penalty is pretty much death. No more tiny little fender benders from which we all learn. Just BAM . . . game over.I think I'll stay on the ground, thanks.Anyway, check out this story:

So Crystal H. found this interesting article about how there are cameras now on the Texas border that allow you to watch the border along with the border patrol agents so that you can help report suspicious activity and illegal immigration.

(!)

I don't even know what to say about this technology. Where is it taking us? Vigilante border agents? Live shots of city streets so that citizens can help city police do their jobs?

The article clearly states that the website has only been effective in 4 arrests. How much money did this technology cost?

Anywho, please read the article and give me an opinion.

How about some more car stuff? I found this site that talks about the top 10 high-tech automobile safety features. Check it out:

Pick one feature and tell me how you think it might change our lives when it becomes common on the cars we drive everyday.
