  • At this city’s pace, we will be riding nothing but COTA buses for the next 40 years.

  • You forgot about our “mass transit” is our highways.

  • Neither of you read the article.

  • While the stackables are cool…still no flying cars?!?

    WTF!

  • Future predictions are fun.
    Mainly because the don’t show the post apocalypse dystopia that will occur after the great ice cream wars of 2015.  Or when ‘the shoe’ is used as an internment camp for the umbrella corp’s genetic zombies.

    Even more fun is reading the predictions for the 21st century that were written 50 years ago.  ‘Future Shock’ for one. 
    And where the heck is my ‘space 1999′?

  • I’m Columbus will still love their surface lots in 2050, which is highly unfortunate.  But this article does point out some interesting ideas that could do wonders for any inner city.

  • Too much text.  Need more pictures.

    Just kidding, I scanned it.  Looks interesting.  I’ll read it at lunch.

  • The Singularity is near.

  • The “God” particle will soon be discovered at the LHC – Large Hadron Collider, in Switzeland. This will give proof that the spirit is also physical (particle-wave duality). Life will change, completely! Transportation will change, completely. The eternity of heaven will and can be at will, compressed to a sheer moment allowing movement of human with device, to a place, from any place on Earth, to another place, faster than an observer can snap their fingers. The public never really understood flight until Wilber and Orville flew at Kitty Hawk. No one anticipated how Henry Ford’s Model T would change the world either.
