The car says, "You'll have to go to Billings for that pineapple and bacon pizza. Want directions?"

With TellMe and GPS in your car you can practically do that right now.

I'm driving through Montana on a family vacation. A Country radio station is on, volume turned up to drown out the sound of the 6 and 8-old fighting over Legos in the back seat. I ask "where is the nearest pizza place?" The car answers, "12 miles up the road, in Livingston". The 10-year-old says, "I want pineapple and bacon pizza". The car says, "You'll have to go to Billings for that, and it'll cost you 7$ more. Want directions?"

you spoil your kids. :)

When I go on trips with my lady friend with kids, we pack our own food to save money and time as well as to eat healthier. Now if we had a Star Trek replicator in the Suburban... (btw, with the money saved, we eat a nice restaurant dinner in the evenings).

Wireless web access... useful for the business professional who is on the road often and wants broadband in a $3,000 notebook PC.
