Maybe one day! It would certainly be a neat way to go!

I agree, maybe one day. Who knows maybe today's state of the art 
communications that the fire fighters use to stay in constant touch via satellite will 
become common place by 2010
  I remember when PC's first came out. Someone sneeringly remarked, "all they 
are good for is filing recipes and check book ledgers." Of course there was 
no widespread concept of the Internet.
  Then when faxes first appeared someone remarked that they would never catch 
on because the paper used in them was too curly, never conceptualizing that 
improvements could and would be made.
  Wireless Internet? Not possible someone assured me
   Given the fact that a monkey can now control a computer (and therefore 
machinery)
 by thought alone, we may someday be able to feed the gold fish at home by 
just thinking about it half a world away. Or transfer funds. Or book 
transportation.
