It’s 2016, and we have hover boards, smart phones and cupcake vending machines. Humanity has become pretty technologically advanced, right?
Wrong.
There are so many things that, if you think about, we should be able to obtain by now. The following list consists of just a mere few of the various possibilities that we should’ve been able to create by now.
1. Capri Sun gallons.
Seriously, why wouldn’t Kraft Foods Inc. produce gallons of the greatest sugary drink America has to offer? Or, better yet, why do they not patent giant juice pouches?
2. Laser vision.
We have Google Glass and virtual reality headsets; why hasn’t anybody made a set of glasses or contacts that can shoot laser beams? It would make lighting fires and cutting things so much easier.
3. "Roy: A Life Well Lived."
The video game that we know, love, and wish existed: “Roy” is a game featured in Rick and Morty that allows its players to live an entire life vicariously through Roy -- the main character -- via virtual reality.
4. Teleportation and portal guns.
You’re lying if you’ve never wished that, rather than driving home after a long night, you could just teleport to your bed. Similarly to the previous un-invented-invention, Rick and Morty star, Rick Sanchez, has his own portal gun; he programs it, shoots and goes through the portal and immediately to another location or planet. It’s easy to get jealous of the concept.
5. Real grape ice cream.
Fun fact: this did exist, once! Our beloved Ben & Jerry’s created it. The issue with it -- and the reason why we no longer have it -- is that it kills dogs. The high concentration of anthocyanin, a chemical found in grape skins; plus, the fact that grapes themselves are poisonous to dogs; mean that even a few licks of this strange, but tempting flavor, could cause your pup to drop dead.
