Whatever Next!

[Caran]

Techies have invented a suitcase that follows you round at speeds of up to seven miles an hour. It has a built in "eye" which maps your face, while you wear a built in tracker. If youander too far from it it lets out a loud wail!
It is expected to cost £800.
I think I'll pass on it and stick to a wheely one!

Prototype from a couple of years back here.

Thank you for that Mamya. I was just wondering whether it was an April Fool joke, it was in Yours magazine and the dates ran from March 27th to April 9th.

I think Terry Pratchett got there first.

Brilliant, not seen that before.

[Mamyalynne]

You'd get more in that one.

[vulcan42]

I'd rather have this.

[Old_Geezer]

Motor must weight a fair old bit.

[Caran]

I wouldn't mind having a ride on one too.

Yet another gadget with a lithium ion battery that can cause a fire on an aircraft

I'd love one of those, especially for carrying my shopping, but I bet it can't manage steps.
