Seems like the only things that are innovative nowadays have the name "Tesla" in them.

I've started saving.... tho the 5th or 6th generation would likely to be out before my great, great, great grandkids could afford it.

I say great, great, great grandkids cos I'll have been gone to that great PC land down below a couple of centuries beforehand.

Truth is, the beast I already have is more than enough power for me.... and right now, I have other priorities that aren't tech.

I still need some furniture items, more rugs/flloor coverings, and some tools to help keep the outside neat and tidy.

I bought one of these yesterday and have already maxed it out.  I'm going to return it for a new refrigerator.

That's nothing, my nephew traded his in for an electric toothbrush

And his mate maxed his out in about 3 hours and  gave it to the church so he never had to give confession again.

Me, if I maxed it out, I'd probably melt it down and commission an artist to do a life-like sculpture of me from it.

I purchased two.  They are so cool.  My neighbor has miniaturized them for me.  They make the most utterly coolest bookends on my block.

Nope, the strange threads are those sane ones with some semblance of order and a modicum of composure.

Shoot, a simple calculator is smart enough to replace a politician... not to mention the trusty old abacus. 

At least an abacus balances the books better than a politician... not to mention more honestly.

Oh, and what psychoak said.... cos mine arsehole makes more sense and rarely speaks out of turn... unlike butting-in, interrupting politicians, who like to hear the sound of their own voices rather than listen.

Yup..... lying, cheating bag of manure with a self-serving agenda.  Let's hope these electronic ones are better and smell nicer.

Now if only we could electronically replace greedy bankers.... ALL bankers.

And real estate agents

Car salesmen

and advertising executives.

Oh wait!  Let's NOT replace advertising executives, we can manage perfectly without them.

Bankers are actually not a bad class of people.  The problem is that many societies have basically regulated small community banks out of commission.  Almost everyone banks at a publicly traded chain, both of those facets are a pretty major negative to fair play from a company unless who ever's at the top of the food chain just happens to be a really nice guy for a cut throat corporate shill.

Yup, we have 4 major banks here in Oz, plus several smaller banks, not that some of those are any better.  One thing we can be sure of it that all the banks here are greedy and will seek new ways to levy new charges against customers.... like account keeping fees if your balance falls below a certain amount; going into the bank for transactions rather than use an ATM; using another bank's ATM; using your ATM card to make purchases; depositing, drawing on cash cheques, and up to $25 for being a little short [like just a few cents] against a direct debit  There's probably other fees and charges, but those are the main ones I could think of here.

Now I have nothing against tellers and regular bankers, they are just doing their jobs  For the most part they are nice, polite and helpful.  No, it's just the upper echelon who are the proper bastards and seek opulence and extravegant lifestyles from the hard work of others

This is why I use mostly cash, and my banking is done at a locally owned (by the account holders) credit union.

 

Now, so I don't feel I'm hyjacking this thread (just learned about hyjacking threads) - let me write this: I don't think I could ever afford one of these 'beasts.'  If I could, I would not put the money into said beast.

Same here!  I use mostly cash when shopping at bricks n' mortar stores, though occasionally I will use my debit card [refuse to have a credit card] to purchase some items when my cash-in-hand is running low.   As for banking locally, I use a bank named Suncorp, which was the Metropolitan Credit Union prior to merging with the State Government Insurance Office and becoming a private bank to take advantage of frredoms credit unions can not.  I have an account with no fees or charges, so I'm satisfied with my banking experience with them thius far.
