Inventions

Around the turn of the 20th century, inventors were focused on creating devices that would allow people to travel great distances in a shorter amount of time (i.e. planes, cars).

The inventions and innovations today, in contrast, are greatly focused on allowing people to do more while never having to travel any distance at all.  With the expansion of the accessiblity of the Internet, you can buy anything you need to buy, and see all the sights the world has to offer without ever leaving your computer.

I wonder what sorts of inventions people will be thinking about 100 years from now.
