Flights of Fancy
Well, since I’m flying anyway….
I thought a post about promises of flight that didn’t come true would be appropriate.  This article on MSNBC 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, that would cut down my commute time!!
So, while I fly up to Chicago to visit with family, enjoy the article.
