    Step aside Marty, it’s our turn

    Its late but better late than never: I so need one of these:

    Hover Board
    Growing old is mandatory
    Growing up is optional

    Ever since the fictional hoverboards in 1989’s Back to the Future Part II children (and adults) have dreamed of scooting along six inches from the ground, safe from the rough terrain and water which would stop a normal skateboard in its tracks.
    I seem to recall the hoverboard didn't work on water either - it was the Biff Tannon character's whose did as it had little rockets and tow ropes for his gang whose hover boards also didn't have rockets.

      They've still got a year to sort it. Given yesterday's date I suspect there's no coincidence.

        It worked on water. Its purpose was to hover and it did

          If Suity wrote the requirements yes, but it wouldn't have passed UAT since it didn't actually move anywhere.

            Technically, it didn't stop when it passed over water, it just ran out of momentum. I think you end up having the 'aeroplane on a treadmill' discussion.

              Neither does a skateboard if you just stand on it. The design was fit for purpose, it was user error.

                Clearly the optional extras (jets and tow ropes) were clever marketing in that case.
