I remember how the future looked from 1975, today looks alot more like then than the predictions of the day. I'm guessing that 30 years from now is going to look alot more like today than most of the predictions listed above.
I'll turn 75 in 2035, the world had better look more rural or wild from my veiwpoint, if I'm still working in the corporate subrban sprawl, I'm gonna be pissed.... Eric |

In 30 years,, somebody will post a question to this site about fitting a hydrogen ICE conversion into the 914 rustbucket they will be saving. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Don't even bother looking for a good MPS for your original injection because they'll be worth more than their weight in gold by then. My project car might be off the jack stands by then,,,(hey rotaries burn hydrogen!,, hmmmmmm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) ) But back on topic,, I do think we are in another "golden age" of autobiling, let's hope the gas prices don't kill it like last time. I'm looking forward to watching "world on wheels" in like 30 years. -Rob |

Let's go back 30 years This is what it was like in Orange County:
Computers? Sure, in a big office building but not in the home. Scientific calculators cost big bux and didn't have much capability. Microwaves? Nope. ATM machines? Nope, we cashed checks. Cell phones? Only in Dick Tracy comics. Orange groves all over the place in Orange County, now they are all gone. Dirt fields where we could ride our bikes, all gone. Kids would go out and play in the neighborhood and be in before dark, now they can only go in the back yard if the parents keep an eye on them. Cars so big you could sleep in the seats comfortably. Seat belts? doan need em. Air bags? whasat? Law suits were still reasonable. Medical insurance paid for all medical needs and didn't cost much at all. People worked in manufacturing instread of the service sector. We built stuff in this country. New houses came with back yards and side yards and were actually big enough to play in. now you can mow the yard with scissors. Gang fights meant you got a black eye and skinned knuckles, not shot. White people were still the majority. Everything was in english. Anything else? |

girls in the OC had real boobs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) the Angels were from California, not los angeles, and they sucked Los Angeles still had a pro football team, hockey was inconceivable in anaheim My 914 was born (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) the 5 only had 3 lanes on each side (not 8) or whatever ridiculous number of lanes they have now. a 1500 square foot house didn't cost $1,200,000 it didn't take 45 minutes to get from costa mesa to newport beach |

Good list, Sammy.
I think about this one quite often: Medical insurance paid for all medical needs and didn't cost much at all. |

The more I learn the dumber i think I am Group: Members Posts: 357 Joined: 10-August 04 From: Denver, Colorado Member No.: 2,505 Region Association: Rocky Mountains |
I'll be 81.
I'm pissed the Dick Tracy Mag/lev cart isn't around. Of course I live in Denver so these fruitcakes will be smashing into each trying to secure another 20 feet. Most erratic drivers there are; OK maybe Brazil. One hundred years and they’re still using crappy hydrocarbon fueled internal combustion engines and running on rubber wheels. What a joke. And it looks like the old Doc Mollers skycar will never be done. I’ve been watching this cars development for nearly twenty-five years. And it still isn't happening" I remember when he wanted $50k for them. Check this out Moller And God we need more nice asses too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) |
