I had to laugh when I saw this photo. Do you remember when the AM car radio was high tech? It was a cherished addition to vehicles that allowed entertainment while actually rolling down the road... imagine! Then came FM and 8 track. My step father actually had a 45 turntable installed in his early Pontiac Grand Prix, but that didn't work well unless parked somewhere. Cassettes... I was cleaning some boxes from the attic over Christmas and ran across a Sony Walkman Cassette player and remembered how proud I was to own it when it came out... and CD's are even old technology now.
So, what do you do for entertainment in your vehicle now? Do you have satellite radio? Do you Bluetooth Pandora from your IPhone? Do you have your entire music library on a tiny thumb drive and shuffle the songs by category? Now imagine a few years from now when we will look back with condescension, and a little fondness, on what we think is high tech today. Maybe music won't even be the thing... maybe we will be able to stream feelings or memories (even from someone else) through the internet cloud... maybe there won't even be cars?
Future Cars?
