Alien Technology ;-)

Couple of days ago a middle-aged man sitting next to me in the bus started a conversation and quickly went on a tangent. I couldn't do anything to stop him. He was enjoying it immensely while I was polite but not encouraging him in anyway and waiting for him to stop. Before I could pull out my iPod and indicate that I am no longer interested, he asked me if I knew about "Anti gravity car". I said I didn't. He pulled out his iPhone and started searching youtube and all the while muttering about aliens visiting and abducting people and area 51 and all the stuff no one wants to talk/ listen. By then I knew what I had got myself into. My fellow passengers understood my predicament. Some felt sorry that I couldn't find some excuse to get away from there, while others pretended that this conversation was not happening. Finally he got the video he was searching for on youtube: Anti Gravity Car
I looked at it and said it might be CG (Computer Graphics). He strongly disagreed.
Then he went on to show another video about "Holographic text messages"
Luckily by the end of it my stop had come and I got down. Car was probably filled with Helium and Holographic text message was well done CG. There were also comments on youtube that suggested this.

He strongly believed this was all product of some "alien technology" which was kept hidden by the government all this time. He so much reminded me of the character Steven Hyde from "That 70s Show". While smoking weed in the circle (in Foreman's basement) his most famous and repeated statement is "Do you know man...there is car that runs on water instead of gas....and the government doesn't want people to know that. Because then water will become very costly and people will start drinking only beer.....and beer will set us free". I was thinking if Hyde was a teenager in 70s he would be very much the age of the man talking to me ;-)

I would also like to see cars that defy gravity and holographic communications in the future.... but I do hope they will be due to innovation of humble earthlings!
