In this video, we discuss what people want, from teleportation to flying cars to food in pill form.

It’s Monday, and that’s good for a brand new episode of my new web series, 11 Points Countdown.

For this episode I’m joined by Kyle Anderson, a writer for Modern Primate and Nerdist and the podcaster behind What the F are You Watching? He took the bus for two hours to get to the bar.

The poll from a few weeks ago on the future inventions we want the most actually got the highest number of votes of the six I posted. I was fairly surprised by the results — especially how robot hookers finished. Has no one seen Jude Law in A.I.?

Check out the episode below. And please subscribe to my YouTube channel!
