Thanks, man... but I'm waiting for stable multidimensional wormholes, spaceships, and good old basic FTL drives.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Theoretically the technology to build a interstellar craft could probably be built now. You cpuild use a a ion drive for acceleration and as you could maintain acceleration at about 1g for a around a year you achieve just under light speed.

Nope
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Instead of hoverboards, I am thinking this technology would be more useful in creating those superfast railways and bullet-trains seeing as it requires a metal road way to function.

Personally I am not too intrigued because unlike a skateboard, I can't use this to get to work unless they decide to give the entire road a metal coating.

I am a bit more interested in NASAs theoritical warp-drive thingy that they are working on, and of course googles quantum computer.

Alcabierre Project?
Its a workable idea, with some major drawbacks.

And yeh, it is in the early "speculation stage", but it is a lot more interesting to see work on this, because if the expected end result can be achieved, that would be the entry-point in actual future-age.
