Where’s My Laundry Folding Machine?

Let’s play SCIENCE FACT or SCIENCE FICTION!

I’ll describe some kind of technological wonder and you guess if it’s SCIENCE FACT or SCIENCE FICTION, okay? If you get all the answers right, I’ll email you a chocolate sundae!

Here’s number one: Scientists are working hard to create a space elevator that will ride up and down from space on a ribbon made of microscopic carbon nanotubes.

Your answer here! Science fact!

Next quiz item: Researchers in Japan have developed an extremely lifelike robot complete with sensitive gums for dental students to practice upon. When the robot feels pain, it yelps!

Your answer here! Science fact!

Next quiz item: Technology for the military enthusiast now includes a rapid firing machine gun system that shoots bullets using electronic propulsion rather than old smelly gunpowder. The gun is completely silent, operates with zero kickback, zero heat, and zero smoke.

Your answer here! Science fact!

Next quiz question: Scientists in Denmark have recently developed a “household laundry aid” that shuttles clothing and other textiles directly from the dryer to a self-contained sorting and folding unit. The unit operates at 20 items per minute on average, folding and sorting the average laundry batch in under three minutes.

You answer here! SCIENCE FICTION!!

No offense to the flip-fold folks, since I’m sure they mean well, but a stinking folding plastic board?!?!? You can tell who does all the inventing and product development in the world. (Hint: **no boobies** Well, except for the overweight, nerdy-type inventor who we really don’t need to picture.)

Where in high-tech heaven is my laundry folding machine?!

I have, in fact, invented an RFID based prototype which I’ve yet to patent. Anyone interested in buying one?

    Yes! Do you actually have the machine to sell? Is it shipable? I would like to e-tail or retail them on the internet. Can you supply me? I would have to use the first one as a sample, of course!…to ensure quality, etc. This invention, if it works, should make it to the hall of fame of inventions—up there with the telephone and television remote. Let me know when I can try it!
