In the Future...

By applepie and Wheelz,

In the future, we will have ingenious inventions that will improve our daily life. Cars in the future will fly. One thing that's certain is that they will be powered differently. Carbon emissions are destroying our earth. One thing we can do is change our fuel to hydrogen, with no carbon emissions. Speculatory technical progress shows that early flying cars will have 4 jet engines placed evenly on each side. GPS systems will control the car which hovers directly above normal ground roads. Another thing that is destroying our atmosphere is our electrical usage in our homes and apartments. In the future, your home will probably be powered by geothermal, solar, and hydro energy. Planting grass on your rooftop will collect toilet water (A.K.A. dew), and water for other appliances. You can also collect energy from solar panels on your rooftop. Our food in the future will be more artificial than ever. Ranging from genetically modified fruits and vegetables to cow meat, the cows having beed added more growth hormones and chemicals never imagined. But, no one has actually proven that these foods are 100% normal and nutrient proficient. Isn't that weird? People wonder, will we ever colonize Mars? And, is it beneficial? We are probably not going to have a vacation to a 4 star hotel on Mars in our lifetime, but it's possible. Also, we can turn Mars into a second Earth. Probably in 1000 years, we can generate enough emissions to thin out Mars' ozone layer and create an Earth-like atmosphere. But why? I can name 3 reasons, overpopulation on Earth, too much global warming on Earth, and for no reason at all. In the future, if you fall off a 3 story building, a chemical in your blood will freeze your vital organs without killing them. This way, they will shut down without being permanently rendered inactive. Also, there will be a small electrical conveniences in your clothes which will tell medical operators your identity and about your injury. They will send a flying ambulance equipped with a crew and emergency appliances to you. They will mend broken bones and organs in your body; as much as they can to revive you and keep you alive. How fast will you drive in the future? Probably as fast as you want. Anyway, most cars by then will be controlled withought a steering wheel. So I'd guess the average speed is about 100 miles per hour. Since cars are controlled by the internet in the future, there will be no traffic jams unless if the internet crashes. You can actually trust that the automated school bus will take you or your child safely to school. Holographs are very different. They are not on a screen or wall. They are floating. However, holographs are not a new idea. They have been around for a couple of years. Today's holographs are only flat sheets. The holograph is basically a 3D of flat sheet of mist that has something projected onto it. 2007's holograph is still majorly low-tech. You will soon see stunning 3D holographs in your sity or town in about 10-20 years. That's practically the end, whether that's also a speculation or not.

Insight on Architecture

By Wheelz,

Above, the view of the Burj Dubai over the skyline, recently passing over the height of the tallest man-made structure in the world, the CN Tower, which held the record since 1976. The Burj Dubai continues to stretch higher, making it the tallest man made structure ever attempted to create. You can also look at the other buildings around it, meaning new large structures will soon attempt to create an ancient city into a modern wonder. Burj Dubai brings a lot of commerce to parts of the city, having been re-illustrated. At first nobody knew about the tropical wonder of Dubai. It makes me wonder why so many commercial industries made it here. Unfortunately, big cities lie on coastal areas. It's not bad, because it's beautifully tempting. But in the future, there will be flooding. Millions of people will live in these areas, cramming the coast. Once Antartica melts, the whole project is done for. It's a thing to think about. There's always a price to pay. For instance, there must be a trapdoor in a land of promises. Burj Dubai is amazing. It's design, construction, enough said. Also, recently, Dubai surpassed the height of Taipei 101. I don't like the architecture of Taipei 101. I definitely like the damper idea, but the outside looks like... I can't explain. All I can say about it however is that you can't try to fit too much traditional work into a modern piece. The definition of modern is something futuristic. Futuristic means something not like anything else. Something that is conspicous to our world is futuristic. So far, I like the Burj Dubai the best. I put down my trust in the Freedom Tower because they changed the design. I totally liked the previous one. The new design looks to much like a rectangular prism. All buildings are like rectangular prisms right? As I said earlier, something that is conspicous to our world is futuristic, so we have to take one step forward and think of something new.

Amber Trees

I have written a story called Amber Trees that I would like to share with you. For now, it will be posted a bit at a time on one of my other pages,  Amber Trees. So, take the link to it to read my story.

Go Macs!

I'll get to the point. Mac computers are faster. They are one piece! IBMs (Dell, Windows, and all those other brands that aren't Macs) have the moniter and that other big chunk of computer (I don't know the name of it since I have a mac). A Mac has all that stuff in an IBM and more in one, reasonably sized piece. Macs also have cool extra things, like Dashboard, one click, and you are in a personalized space with all kinds of cool "Widgets" like a dictionary, calculator, and other things. The way you personalize it is by downloading all kinds of widgets from apple.com. You can have games, right on the screen and so many other things that I don't want to go on, and on about. This company created the iPod and iPhone too. To learn much more you can go to www.apple.com or visit various apple stores where you can test the products.(While still in the store.)
