Some or all of it may end up being B.S. After all, where's my flying car. But much of it may end up being true. In 1975, someone told me that everyone would some day have their own, personal phone number, that was just for that person, and I thought that was pretty far fetched. Who really knows?

"Theories have four stages of acceptance:
i) this is worthless nonsense;
ii) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view.
iii) this is true but quite unimportant.
iv) I always said so."
- J.B.S. Haldane, 1963

Or through Cairo, or Istanbul, cities not known for their tight traffic regulations? After all we've had the Prius for ~10 years and it has failed to take over the world.
