Driverless Lawn Mowers. They're coming soon from Deere & Co., according to Business Week. Deere virtually invented lawn care equipment. And it's now committed to insuring that all of us can mow our lawns while sitting comfortably in our family rooms watching reruns of Home Improvement. That's progress!

Now, if they can invent something that will take out the garbage for us and change the babies' diapers while we're watching TV, then we'd have true heaven.
