In some weird distant future, suitcase archeologists will surely marvel over the cumbersome bags we once used to haul inappropriate clothing from one side of the world to the other.
"How did we go from ancient steamer trunks to the laser-guided hovercases we use today?" they'll ask themselves.
Then eureka! In the ruins of what was an ancient burial ground, or possibly Chicago O'Hare airport, they'll find the fossilized remains of the luggage world's missing evolutionary link.

And, just maybe, it'll look like the newBugaboo Boxer.
It's no stretch to say that 2016 has been a big year for baggage, with manufacturers unpacking several bold innovations that would be welcome on any traveler's Christmas list.
This is, after all, the year of the suitcaseyou can ride around the airport. And the one that follows you aroundlike a robot puppy.
The Boxer is part of this new wave of innovation, but unlike these borderline novelties yet to hit the stores, it's been available to buy since September -- and doesn't require batteries.
It's the creation of Dutch manufacturer Bugaboo, which made a splash back in 1999 with a stylish range of modular baby strollers that changed the world of posh parenting forever.
