Planning for a nonexistent future

New Auto Technology Can Tell When You’re ‘Driving While Drowsy’ - TIME NewsFeed: "In the age of multilingual GPS devices, driver seat massages and cruise control navigation, it was only a matter of time before manufacturers developed drowsy driver alerts.

That's right – technology to tell you when you're in danger in nodding off behind the wheel, bringing you back to full attention through dashboard icons and warning alarms."

This assumes that a century from now there will be fuel to support an automobile world. I have my doubts. I believe the world of cars and sprawl is ending. The future will not be a slow evolution of the infrastructure we have now. It is more likely to be a response to cataclysmic environmental events. It is for this reason that I have proposed the cyber-community as a successor to sprawl-oil society.

Aggression in its Most Noxious Form


Car ads are exercises in impunity
Appealing blatently to the hostile instincts 
For their product is inherently lethal
And we are forced by circumstance and choice terribly wrong
To endure life using cars

But the day of the car's rule are numbered
And with it the blatency and testerone-driven
Ads that litter our channels
With slick barbarian drawl

The end of sprawl is not far away

The end of sprawl is not far away
Driving and building costs more than our pay
Everything needs to run differently
Someday anon we will all be car free
