Facts that bother me!

As all of us know, the data transfer has been piece of cake, we have almost all the needed protocols and interfaces to do that. Well, as a layperson, if one were to think about data transfer, they can make television a great example. Each of those channels deliver perfect looking videos without any delay or problem in presentation. Why can't we do the same for data on the computers. I mean to post a question and that is:

Why do we still don't have access to the internet on planes, why do 90% of the passenger have to be bored to death on cross country and international flights? Why can't we just have the internet everywhere. Why can't we have access to wifi just about any place where we can get cell phone service?

I don't know, I have engaged into this type of topic, talking to my friends for hours and hours. There was one time that me and two of my other friends were driving from Ocean City, MD. One of my friends fell asleep in the back seat but me and the other dude kept talking on topics like the above. Haha...you wouldn't believe it. We started getting loud, not fighting, but trying to prove our points of views. We stumbled upon the fact that the cars don't have internet or say a usb port. Why not? I mean why can't all cars have that, I don't know. It bothered us to think that we gotta honk at other cars on the road if there is need, say for example, if they are veering off the edge and aparently because they are not looking at the road, we would want to be able to send an IM to the frequency belonging to that car and they can thank us by showing a nice "Thank You" note as a screen saver on their rear window. All cars could have a profile, which would include it's passengers, and their info to the extent the crew would allow. Now at this point, I want to ask. Who among you haven't looked and tried to make gesture to the hottest chicks while driving long distance. Well I, agree too, I have done it. My friends have done it. At least twice as I can remember. But nothing bad in it, it is kinda same behaviour we do or see in malls or parties, events or say homecoming. Well why can't driving long distance allow us to engage in the same type of stuff. Why does driving has to be such a big problem when it comes to long distance. Our life can be uniform with the help of technology and I believe, as some of my buddies do, it is there but can't be used yet. It has to be dispensed intermittently. If you ask why? The answer is money, money, money. I might be wrong but I have been conservative on that knowledge coz no one tells me any other way around. Thank god, I can concentrate well on my studies for the finals now that I have cleared my head!
