Every week day, i get into my car at o'dark o'clock for the daily commute to work. Depending on traffic and weather, it can be as quick as 15 minutes or take over 1 hour +. 90% of the commute is highway driving but there are still people that drive well below the speed limit in the fast lane or are to fearful to pass a big rig and in turn hold everyone up.
How do i get around this? Well, i looked into teleporting but the idea of being split up into tiny molecules and essentially "faxed" to your location has drawbacks...if you ever sent a fax, you would know and the movie Timeline has a good example of what could be achieved, but this is a movie magic example and i am not even touching Star Trek...
Now today i came across NASA's new personal flying suit called "Puffin". The Puffin has a cruising speed of 240km/h and the ability to get up to 480km/h and a range of about 80km/h. They have plans to bump that up to 240km range in the next couple years. Well, that suits my commute distance and would make for a much quicker, and more enjoyable commute. Plus, being powered by electric motors, it is also environmentally friendly.
