Ah! What could have been. Failure of developing (quiet) super-sonic and hyper-sonic civilian aircraft is one of the great shortcomings of our age. The Boom (shockwave) has given way to The Zoom (video teleconferencing)
An interesting point of the "future architecture" speculations is that they never anticipated algorithmically-aided parametric designs in the manner of Zaha Hadid ;)

- awad 7y agoIt's a good tagline but The Zoom still involves the first 5-10 minutes of technical issues interspersed with drop off and, in my opinion, doesn't displace the value of interaction IRL. Rather, I think it makes conference (formerly audio) calling way better. I'm very hopeful that The Boom (aerospace company) is successful as someone who travels a good deal for work.
