I found this while surfing the web.

What will life be like in 2008?
Heh. Well the article said it's "Nov. 18, 2008" so maybe we'll get to the abilities mentioned in the article by then. I'd like to accelerate to 150 mph in the city’s suburbs, then hits 250 mph in less built-up areas or spend a week at an UNDERSEA resort. OK that is really cool!!!

It was written in 1968, but many of the items listed we have or will have soon. BUT, I want the SELF maintaining house they mentioned!


I just think about the people who wrote it must have thought about all the sci-fi stuff and the new emerging technology to write this article.

If you think about it, we have alot of that stuff and more. And some of the stuff is being worked on and looked at.

The most expensive Tom-toms and Garmens really do read the traffic reports , and with traiffic cameras everywhere, that system should be uprgaded in the years to come. And with the little micro chips (GPS) on most big transportation containers now, it would not be hard to PUT those in cars to be read by other cars.

And the computer that you can draw on - doesn't fashion people and architects USE some sort of program like that. With a TYPE of PDA pen.


BUT - as I mentioned I want the self maintaining home - or a robot to do it!
(I will gladly do the yard.)

Until I have that - we are still in the dark ages! :-)
