Just crazy ideas!

Why are we'all in such a rush, anyway? If you need to talk to someone right away, we got video conferencing. If you, in an emergency, really need to move somewhere fast, there's helicopters. I say we just consign the whole 'car' idea to the dustbin of history, and just convert everything over to canals. If some insist on speed, we can consider adding a train system. But the only means of private mechanized transport must be by watercraft! That should be enough.

Q: It’s 2025. Where is my flying car?

A: Best we can do is a canal boat.

Personally I love the idea. I’m ready to slow down and enjoy the scenery.

A society growing in knowledge: look at all the cars we can build!

A society growing in wisdom: what are in such a rush for anyway?
