No, not yours

Posted on November 12, 2006 | 6 Comments

After almost 100 years of promises of rocket packs and flying cars, I’m dubious we’re going to make such great strides in the next 40 years.

• The flying car era will really begin around 2015 with flying drones. Flying drones will be used by FedEx and UPS to deliver packages, Pizza Hut to deliver pizzas, and Kroger and Safeway to deliver groceries. But beyond that, drones will enable homes to be taken off the grid with delivery of water and electricity (changing out batteries for the home), trash and sewage pickup, and much more. These too will begin as air-powered vehicles and later convert to frictionless drones.

There will never be flying cars. And no, you can’t have a pony.

    Only if you promise to clean up after it.

    That picture is hilarious!

    I imagine a flying pony would be extremely messy to clean up after.
