We're always wondering when the sci fi gadgets we grew up watching on TV will be dreamed into existence. Yet it boggles the mind when they actually appear on the market. Or it boggles my mind at least.

Actually, thanks to the magic of Youtube, I can share that scene with those of you who haven't seen the movie.



How cool is that, right? Here's hoping it's on a scientist's wishlist too. ;)
