The metric system!!! Useless, I think it makes sense for a world economic power to use a different system of weight and measure than just about everyone else. Sorry, thats really sarcastic. But I think this is just silliness. Not that I think it should be changed, like, IT NEEDS to be changed...thats silly too.
Yeah, I think we are gradually moving over to electronic voting in most states. The problem IS cost, like Chaltab said. Im sure that after everyone is on electronic ballot casting, a national system isnt far off.
