Okay, so you gotta talk to the guy in the next cubicle, but you can't get up, you have too much to do. So what do you do? You get ROCKET POWER! You strap you message/memo to a model rocket countdown and LAUNCH! Useing a GPS system, and employee tags the rocket goes to ceiling hieght, the movable fins
level her out. As it goes toward its destination, the liquid fuel rocket runs out of juice and little winglets come out, and the rocket glide to the correct cubicle. You use more fuel to reach, say the boss, on the 3,000th floor. But for your buddy right next to you, all you need is a few drops of fuel!
Just think, people just a trigger away...

Possible fire risk. Will also have problems with doors. I still prefer pneumatic tubes. |

...... message blowpipe ? |

Fold your message up into a paper aeroplane and launch. Same effect, less fire hazard. |

I figured we had already created e-mail |

Flood building, send message in bottle. |

Does GPS work inside buildings? |
|

Sometimes. Depends on the receiver, the antenna system, the building structure, and the number and postion of the visible "birds". It's not reliable. |

Di's idea sounds a little noisy. I would formulate an elaborate system of handsignals, communicated by magnifying mirrors at regular intervals. |

Looks like a job for a tiny little muli-stop roller coaster. |
