You have the potential to change the world...be inspired...Get involved...Make a difference...


Be inspired... develop your vision of the future... and get involved... and                         Make a difference...

Sci-Fi is a fascinating world... Writers with vision for the future have always paved the way for new discoveries and new ways of living... Vonnegut and Larson among others...giants like Jules Verne and Aldous Huxley ...                                                         People with vision... open up the skies for us...

      Kurt Vonnegut              Glen A. Larson

 Glen A. Larson passed away few days ago and I wanted to dedicate this blog post to his vision... An American television producer…writer
Known for Battlestar Galactica and Knight Rider…among others...

  Battlestar Galactica... and David Hasselhoff and KITT in                          Knight Rider. 
Vision of Larson...
Things that KITT in Knight Rider predicted...
1) Self-driving/Auto collision avoidance



2) Homing device

Google is building a self-drive car and it expects its self-drive cars to be on the road "within a year"
It's imitating KITT...

3) Medical scanner

Sensors in Ford's car seat can monitor the rider's heart rate

4) Electronic jammer

It may look a bit low-tech now - but within Kitt's dashboard was an electronic jammer

Larson predicted...and one by one they are coming to be true... It's not sci-fi any more...It is the real world that we are living in...
Also the "Hydrogen hybrid"... larson's KITT may have been a loud and show of hulk of a machine... But it was definitely environmentally friendly... it was powered by hydrogen, the zero-emission fuel of choice for today's most polular clean cars...
Larson's vision of the future included a environmentally clean cars and zero-emission fuel...
Visionaries always have a good sense of what he future will be...

Russia tests 'satellite catcher'
Russia is testing a satellite capable of chasing down other orbiting spacecraft...
Such technology could be used for a wide variety of uses, including to repair malfunctioning spacecraft, but also to destroy or disable them.
Soon we will be out there flying... within the galaxies...
Soon humans will visit new planets...
But we have to put our Earth in order... may be ban the wars... and cooperate and share...

...And now another inspiration...

A boy from Coventry, England has become the youngest computer specialist in the world.
Ayan Qureshi is now a Microsoft Certified Professional after passing Google's tech exam... when he was just 5-years-old...

Be inspired...
Get involved...
and,
Make a difference...
