        As a very, very old person, what do you think the most amazing technological development has been in your lifetime? My guess: the wheel!

          I'm not that old!!!

          That being said I can't really think of an amazing technical development i'm that fussed about...

          They had better have sorted out bionic limbs and body parts by the time i'm 70 though, I fully expect to be swapping my crusty old limbs and body parts for nice shiney sculpted bionic ones that perform better than the originals and have all the ladies gasping in excitement as I jog past!!!

            Bionic limbs: they're here, sort of, saw it on Richard & Judy last week. Judy: now there's a lady who CAN remember the wheel arriving.

              I don't want the dodgy 1st/2nd generation stuff. I want tried and tested 30th generation stuff that performs better than original limbs and looks like something a sculpted athlete would be proud to wear!!!

                The kind Steve Austin had? As I recall those cost quite a bit.
                McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
                Spock: "Trained? Judging from you, I would have guessed it was trial and error."

                  Well, not far off! They had a bloke on - he'd lost his hand. He had a "bionic" one, and it worked. Senses electrical impulses and all that. And, unlike a lot of these early prototype jobbies, a la Tomorrow's World, it really did do the stuff.
