Overrated Countries
Heres a question; which countries receive more kudos than they deserve (from a historical context).
Example - Italy is revered but hasnt done anything since the Romans (apart from swap sides in wars) so is overrated. Ireland have a nice history but havent done anything but export people, thereby keeping their rating up, so is overrated.
On the other hand, Portugal gets no props, but has a very rich and interesting history. Similarly Holland.
Thoughts?

Mobile Phones...What next
I detest fax machines and pagers (whats the point!) but do like a good mobile phone. I have even gotten rid of my camera as my phone performs the task more than adequately, though it should be noted that Im rubbish at taking photos.
But where else can they go, here are some ideas:
* In-built electronic shaver
* Wind turbine (doesnt need charging)
* 'wind instrument function' (to play music on the go)
and, of course,
* Lightsaber.
Any other ideas?
