Well, since I'm flying anyway....
I thought a post about promises of flight that didn't come true would be appropriate. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/988554.asp?cp1=1">This article on MSNBC</a> about seven ideas regarding the future of flight that never came to pass struck a chord. Here are some great examples of science-fiction that has not quite worked out. Sure, a lot of things have been predicted by science-fiction authors, but how many have really come true? Okay, a lot of them, actually, but not all. For instance, what about flying cars? Where's my flying car? Or, jet packs? Hey, I'd settle for a personal helicopter that I can fly to work! Now, <i>that</i> would cut down my commute time!!
So, while I fly up to Chicago to visit with family, enjoy the article.
