        Yeah. I think you'd be a helluva fun prof. I got all nostalgic, but also a feeling that I missed out, reading about your small-class practices. I would have loved anything remotely resembling today's computing power and ease, both hard & soft, to actually run some studies UG!

        Remember when a bunch of people said 280 characters would be the death of twitter? Imagine the reaction if we had to go back to 140 now.

        Turns out we can have flying cars, if we want them. I don't think we really do. They're noisy, expensive to operate and dangerous - gravity is real drag. We'll get some anyways because people are stubborn.

        I'd take horse and buggy if it meant 560.

        Flying cars are a terrible idea. A minor failure in a car means you coast into the breakdown lane and wait for a tow truck. A minor failure in a flying car means you & hundreds or thousands of pounds of material falling out of the sky.

        Also I would guess powered flight takes way more energy than traveling on the ground (in most circumstances). At a time when we desperately need to be reducing our energy consumption wherever we can.

        That's because _china_ got the flying cars. The US hasn't been back to the moon since 1974, we peaked.https://www.businessinsider.com/the-worlds-first-passenger-drone-just-took-flight-in-china-2018-2 …

        He’s the creator of Bloomberg terminals, a technology every day people care even less about than Twitter.
