Flying Cars

A flying car is hypothetical personal aircraft that provides door-to-door aerial transportation (e.g., from home to work or to the supermarket) as conveniently as a car but without the requirement for roads, runways or other specially-prepared operating areas.

The flying car has been depicted in works of fantasy and science fiction such as The Jetsons, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Back to the Future Part II and The Fifth Element. The Jetsons took place in 2062.


Aged Urbanity

From Discover magazine's "The State of the World: 2062":

6 billion people live in cities—the population of the entire world at the turn of the century.

Earth now home to 2 billion people age 60 and over.

Coastal cities go under. Renewable energy rules the day. Cows use up precious water and drive the ongoing greenhouse effect.

Incomes skyrocket in developing nations.


Ice caps melt. Industry booms at top of the world.
