The current status of absolute gravimetry is discussed. Some of the important instrumental developments that have taken place during the past 35 years are mentioned. Several suggestions are made as to what still could be done better to improve the accuracy of existing instruments. Future (smaller and automated) absolute instruments are anticipated. Finally several new uses for absolute gravimeters are described.
