Transport Woes

Sandra from Timberlea

Whatever happened to 'creative/divergent thinking'?
Many years ago I was a fan of the TV programme - 'The Jetsons'.
Am still waiting for the day one can punch in a selected menu option into a gadget, to receive/digest a pill to do the job. BLISS... no planning, cooking or cleaning up!
The other memory is the use of air space travel!
Why does everything have to be land based in this day and age?
Almost guarantee at least 80%+ of vehicles on the road in peak hours have a driver only!
Gondolas, chair lifts, bullet trains, para-gliders in summer ... surely there can be options to the reliance on 'land based transport'.
Recently reading the comments from the Mayors beyond Central Wellington, made me think that each and every one of those areas have problems which directly impact on them, yet the focus seems to be on Wellington City itself.
Will stop here. Save other comments in the hope other forward thinking people have ideas.
By the way ... I DO expect to get shot down in flames - but would be content if others could think outside the box.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
