[Prophet in the wilderness]

How long is it going to take, were we can just go to a Electronics store, and buy 8 or 10 feet ( or how much our walls will allow ) of TV Screen matt rolls, and just hang it on our walls ? will the picture be even better than Plasma ? HDTV ?
Why do they have to wait for this technology to mature for the Space Elevators ? and tell me more about those Space Elevators,

You put a large weight in roughly geosync orbit and run a very strong and lightweight cable back to earth. You hoist stuff up the cable like an elevator. If the cable is not strong, it breaks. If the cable is too heavy, it drags the geosync weight down.
