How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth?

Posted by timothy on from the cold-fusion-hybrid-flying-recumbent-bikes dept.

Slob Nerd points to this BBC article on future transport possibilities. It begins "The prospect of a revolution in air travel has been raised by Nasa's successful test of a 5,000mph plane. But are we likely to see similar advances in other forms of transport? Dusting off the crystal ball, what changes might come in the way we get around? What big ideas are out there, and do they have any chance of seeing the light of day?"

    Quote, '(hint: the proper term for citizens of the United States of America is "Americans", for citizens of the United States of Mexico is "Mexicans", etc.)...'

    Excuse me, I beg to differ. With 'American' I understand one who lives in the CONTINENT America, just like 'Asian' != 'Chinese'.

    So, what shall we call one who lives in the U.S.A.? USian? USAian? or an 'US American' perhaps?
