Are Flying Cars in Our Future?
 | | A prototype Terrafugia Transition |
The other day, I read about the Terrafugia Transition, a flying car that may be available for purchase as early as next year. It made me think how different the world will likely be 100 years from now and how all of us - even if we don't have something as significant as a "moving the bus sign" story like Judy Dawson - will have lived through some historic, cultural or technological era in our lifetime that tomorrow's generation won't even recognize. From my life thus far, I think about Atari, bag cell phones and 9/11. What story from your own life might you tell your children, or their children? Here's a brand new website we recently discovered that can help you get started sorting out your answers. Proust offers some thought provoking questions that you answer on-line. When you're finished, you can make them private or choose to share them with the world. While some questions are less imaginative than others, it will definitely get your ideas flowing. And if you're not so computer savvy, it's a great activity to work on with a child or grandchild. When you're done, record your answers on video and add pictures to bring the story to life. |
