No matter how advanced the technology, it always has something so goofy, it at once is reduced to the level of a Rube Goldberg contraption. (I.E., in "The Matrix", the machines use energy based on a combination of human body heat - and nuclear fusion! Why even have the people involved at all?) Or like transporters: can be used for almost anything - reverse aging machines, confinement cells, stasis chambers.....

Jen, it's funny you should mention Rube Goldberg and Time Machines in the same post. A fellow FRreeper can get you one.
