Package holidays to the Moon - though not sure what you'd do once your there - I guess it could be great for fat bikes.
Good call because in space nobody can hear them drone on and on and on.
Though it would probably be via easyjet and The Moon* is actually 45km outside Barcelona
Automated letterboxes that instantly shred HMRC letters/Double Glazing flyers/I've lost my dog, have you seen him flyers/letters from Your Mum/Electricity bills/Charles Thurwitt shirt brochures/local tennis club "come join us" flyers/Harry Your Favourite Gardener is in your area flyers..

In the 50s and 60s we were all being told that the technological revolution would mean something like a 3 day work week and 6 hour days.

A friend of mine had an 'IT Trainee' in her office back in the late 90s who was tasked with faxing out a press release to a couple of dozen numbers. Noticing the trainee was feeding the document in repeatedly and dialling she thought she'd help by pointing out that the document could be scanned once and then all the numbers entered in one go.
"its not working though - I'm still trying to send it to the first number on the list but the paper goes in then just comes straight back" - next to her was a pile of photocopies - she'd made each recipient their own copy.

Well I lost a bit of time reading that. Didn't like the bit about brain theory and data theory, as it seemingly fails to realise that data in the brain and the physical structure of the brain are inseperable, you can't take the 'data' out of someones brain and upload it to another without changing it's architecture - its a physical collection of neurons and connections.
