The Future...

Three years ago I took my first computer science class at COCC in Bend. My teacher asked us if we all new what a blog was... there was little response, and he explained what it was, then he told us that one day we will all have one. I just thought "yeah right"... but here I am writing a blog. He knew it was coming! Technology has been progressing for thousands of years and yet it feels like it has just been born. The future is endless... how far will time take us and how much more is technology going to progress. Thats my thought for this morning.

I checked out Who Killed the Electric Car yesterday and it really made me angry! Its disturbing that these people who profit billions of dollars a year are trying to hold back a technological breakthrough and sacrifice the health of our planet for more profit. I believe that we have the power and the knowledge to undue the damage we have already done. So whats the hold up?

I just read an article about GM's new Chevrolet Volt. Its a concept car the runs off of an electric motor. It also has a 1 liter 3 cylinder supercharged motor that recharges the battery when you can plug it in. The idea is that its "flexible" enough for multiple energy sources.... and it looks pretty cool too. I realize that integrating electric cars as a main mode of transportation is going to take some time. At least company's are still making an effort to create environmentally friendly cars. But oil companys removing ads for the electric car is still ridiculous.
