• Gasoline cars
• Coal fired electric plants
• Oil tankers
• Iran / Saudia Arabia / Iraq / UAE / Kuiwat / Quater / N. Korea

Here is a small list of things I'd like to see as future buggy whips:

• Cash

Yikes! You want to do away with the ability to use your own money without leaving a paper-trail if you so choose? And fix it to where there is no way to transact business without a data connection?

Not for me!

• Gasoline cars

As long as you can find a more-efficient means of storing energy for the longer distances, and refilling the energy reserve (of whatever nature)...

Coal fired electric plants

Again, why? Coal, we have lots of. Anything to reduce our dependence upon foreign resources...

• Oil tankers

As long as we have our "next source" in place, all for it...

• Iran / Saudia Arabia / Iraq / UAE / Kuiwat / Quater / N. Korea

Never miss 'em. Agreed.

• Loud Commercials

Amen. 'Course, I am almost to the point of not watching the TeeVee at all...

• For profit Insurance companies

...so I can be assured of having no choice if my insurer provides bad service? Bad, bad idea.

• IRS

Winnah!

Spike, I'll +1 you to the letter.

Kelvin, you too.

 

[EdFred]

I'm with Spike, except I have no clue where Quater is. Qatar on the other hand...

Oh, and I never want gasoline car engines to go away. EVER. Nothin sounds as pretty on the road as a V8, 10, V12, or V16.

Things that I think will go away

Who is going to check my list for me in 100 years?

Put it in one of those time capsule things at the bottom of the automotive union office building.

In Detroit no less...
