Ask HN: What are problems you have in your every day life?
I greatly desire a fun method of personal transport to get around to the shops, to work, etc. I don't want to sit in traffic, and I feel biking isn't safe when there's distracted drivers on the road.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that jet packs actually exist in real life. Unfortunately, they're very loud, have a very short range, and are $275,000 USD. They would probably be regulated like cars some day.
So I guess it's just a dream until some cheap form of quiet propulsion is invented. It takes a lot of electricity to put even a 120lb human in the air for a few seconds!
I think using computers is causing me memory loss, I notice it more frequently now - it worries me so it pushes me to read more books. My speculation is that the light from monitors and other devices somehow makes me forgetful.
I am certain the distractability of the web is bad for us and can see myself spending less time on this app in the future.
