Think of your phone.
When we were just young.
Did you ever know for sure you'd have that 'Star Trek' like device to talk to anyone on the Plant no matter where you were?
A computer more powerful then the first computers in the palm of your hand!
AND they can be controlled by voice commands just like on Star Trek from the 60s!

So I tend to think I'm seeing the future War Fighters!
A butt load of Iron Men flying around and just messing things up in a crazy new way.

I'm still waiting for Scotty to beam me up.

I doubt We will live to see that. But I'm not betting against the possibility.


Never thought I'd see the video posted seeing the old jet pack stuff.

Then there is this guy who not only has no cloth material in the rear of his pants but is also missing the hair in that region.

As for sensors emplacement, not replacement.

Agreed. Limited use for someone needing aid.

I see this device solving the last mile problem. Top ranking officers could fly directly to their office rooms from the parking lot via remotely opened window and avoid the rush hours in the lobby, waiting for elevators and such.
