Did anyone think before why would he/she have a flying car? Do people need them? Ever since Back to the Future come out and may be even before that too, everyone starts to dream about flying cars; when they will come true, how will they look like, how much they will cost? Regardless, almost nobody thinks about if we do need flying cars or if they will be so fascinating and useful as they think. The author of the article believe that people still do not have flying cars because they are so expensive to be purchased, they will need a new system,they are too risky. Flying cars are more expensive than vehicles. Unlike normal cars, flying cars will mostly be reachable by rich people. Purchasing a new car usually starts approximately from $12000 if it is not too up to date, in addition, if it is used, it will be cheaper. In other words, automobiles are attainable by most of the average people despite car’s model and how fast it is. For example, almost all the middle-class people can effort at least a car per family. Nevertheless, the cheapest flying car …show more content…
In order to launch the flying cars product the government will have to spend a lot of money on new regulations. Furthermore, the government will have to spend money on new roads to be the runway for the flying cars and a new type of license that will gather the rules of flying and driving together. Also, if the government will let people use the flying cars, it will have to come up with a new type of license that will let people fly their cars safely like driving their own cars now. By way of illustration, in order for flying cars to take off it will need special roads like planes to fly. To be more realistic people have to ask themselves will the government spend a lot of money like that on no more than a luxury for rich people. Or would it rather spend it on something really worth that money like upgrading the educating system or
In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, there are flying cars used to track down Montag in part three. In the last section of the book Montag is running from the government because he is under arrest for having books and killing Beatty. Ray Bradbury introduces the flying cars when he says “Two dozen of them flurried, wavering...and then they were plummeting down to land, one by one, here, there, softly kneading the streets where, turned back to beetles, they shrieked along the boulevards or, as suddenly, leapt back into the air, continuing their search”(119). While these flying cars seem so futuristic, the real world is beginning to develop flying cars of its own.
Many people will not fly because driving is cheaper. Although this is sometimes true, in an article called “Social History :Air Travel: Its Impact on the Way We Live and the Way See Ourselves” it says that in the 1970s and 1980s flights started to drop in price making it affordable for the average person. (“Social History”) After this, planes were not just for the wealthy upper class, but they were affordable for the middle class as well. Before the price of plane tickets dropped in the 1970s, not as many people flew in planes. Although it is true that the number increased tremendously after the price drop, according to “Aviation 1903-1934”, in the 1930s forty-three different airlines were flying around 350,000 passengers annually. (Edelen) Some people might say that cars have had the larger impact on American culture because people started to commute to work every day. Although this is true, planes have also had an impact on jobs. People were now able to travel on a business trip and return in a fraction of the amount of time it would take to drive. (“Social History”) This had an impact in two ways. People were now able to expand businesses even more and they were able to spend more time at home.
In the July 1997 issue of Commentary, James Q. Wilson challenges the consensus among academia’s finest regarding the automobile in his bold article, Cars and Their Enemies. Directed towards the general public, his article discredits many of the supposed negatives of the automobile raised by experts, proves that the personal car is thriving and will continue to thrive because it meets individual preference over other means of transportation, as well as presents solutions to the social costs of cars. Wilson emphasizes that no matter what is said and done in eliminating the social costs of the automobile, experts are not going to stop campaigning against it.
Automobiles play an essential role in American society. As if being the major means of transportation was not impressive enough, automotives can be seen on T.V., in movies, in magazines, and can sometimes be indicative of a person’s wealth and social status. On average, Americans drive nearly 40 miles and drive for just over 50 minutes driving per person per day (http://www.bts.gov). That means a person spends roughly one-sixteenth of a day driving. It would make sense, then, to make such an essential part of society as efficient, cost effective, and clean as possible. However, that is not the case. As the years have passed cars have actually begun to move away from efficiency. Hawken writes, “[The automobile] design process has made cars ever heavier, more complex, and usually costlier. These are all unmistakable signs that automaking has beco...
At one point—when cars remained extremely popular—airplane was faster yet more expensive form of travel. Yet when the United States becomes an automobile-less society this would no longer be the case. No longer could one drive an hour down the road to visit family by impulse, it would require planning for tickets and other fees. However, since plane is one of the only traveling opportunities prices surely would decrease from their once inflated
When compared to military (54% of the FDR), education only accounts for about 6% of federal spending, which amounts to around 70 billion dollars. According to the Congressional Budget Office that money is then allocated to the states where in some cases it may only cover “10% of the state’s total educational costs”. If funds were allocated from defense to education the federal government could relieve what is for some states a 90% burden of coverage of federally regulated schools. Funds could be used to increase teacher pay, reduce school crowding, and give states with a smaller budget increased funding towards there school systems. In addition to improvements in education this same concept could be applied to other areas of the public sector like infrastructure. Improving areas within Federal Infrastructure also has the economic benefit of job creation in construction and maintenance, as well as safer road systems and infrastructure for the American people. Excessive government spending in the Defense Budget is therefore irresponsible as money could be better utilized in areas of the public sector that would directly improve the lives of the American
As military technology advances some of most expensive military aircraft in this world were created. For need of some more powerful means of defense, flying the military technology was developed. Even creating some highly cost military equipment is not debatable by people as it is wasting the government’s money but show must go on. Here is the most expensive military aircraft ever made in world.
Cars are a form of art and millions of people own a car. Cars are cleaner and safer today than they were 100 years ago. In the future cars will be safer as they will have an automatic braking system and they will have less solid windscreens to prevent it braking or getting damaged in accidents. In the future cars, for most cases will need to transfer power from motor to wheels that can move on the ground. The future of fuel is superior to ever before, as the environmental is being ruined and the oil is running out. The future of cars will it comes to safety and liability. When there is no driver the possible targets of lawsuits increase. The future is not here yet and people will not care because of that. The future will happen and people need to start preparing. There are car accidents all the time today and will it increase or decrease in the future. Approximately every car accident is due to some sort of a human error. With accidents uncommon, the need for bulky safety features will disappear. Cars will have room for standing and walking about.
don't need rather than that money be used of the gov loans, by back their scholarships etc.
The automobile, in all its luxury, is a desirable expense to almost everyone who travels. Along with it comes new-found freedoms, faster means of travel, excitement, and many other beneficial qualities to one’s everyday life. There are high-end pricey cars that people of high social status and wealth can afford, and the lower-end average priced cars that the average American can afford. Its very power is one wanted by all and many use the automobile to show off its glory and the sense of entitlement it gives them. In the 1920s, the automobile had been a new invention that was advertised only to the wealthy, but as it became more popular, it also became more affordable to lower class people. The presence of mindless carelessness, recklessness,
If the U.S. wants to spend money on education, it should be spent towards improving the free education that is already
It's so amazing how close Mr Page's Zee Aero has come to building an actual flying car. Many tests are being run on the future car to make sure it's ready for people to use,although there are several boundaries standing in the way of the flying car,things like; technological difficulties and safety difficulties. But as soon as these are fixed,we are free to fly around. The world is really advancing,just imagine a situation where you wanted to get to the office or the shop,you could easily fly there with your airplane car (truly mind
There are many inventions of the future that people either know or hope will happen and some inventions that people have never thought that would happen in this or the next lifetime. For instance, one piece of future technology that I believe may come to pass is the invention of flying cars. Since the time of being young and watching the Jetsons, many people have been waiting to see the first flying car. While bringing up the idea of a flying car to a lot of people would seem absurd or downright impossible to some, I actually believe that it is very much so possible to create given how far technology has come in the past few decades. I think that it is a very logical conclusion to assume that at some point in the future engineers, car makers, and others will start to pursue other alternatives to avoiding traffic jams and other problems on the road, and instead begin to examine the possibilities of taking to the air as an alternative solution. There is much talk about it over the internet and many people would like to try flying cars. While it would greatly improve traffic for those that prefer staying on the ground, it may prove dangerous in the beginning because of accidents in the air with other cars, planes, trees, and buildings. Some would say though, that the convenience would outweigh the risks because there would not be traffic jams, or detours because of road work. These cars would need something like a GPS system and an anti-wrecking system so people would not run into each other or other objects (How Flying Cars Will Work).
We could use that money to make college more affordable by providing the students that lack on resources with more help or scholarships, making tuition and college fees cost less. According to the president Barack Obama who spoke directly to colleges in his State of the Union address: “If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down” (Obama 2012). During this speech Obama brought attention to the colleges because they were increasing their tuition as much as possible and 75% of Americans said that college was too expensive. Obama wanted to make it clear because he wanted to make sure that families could send their kids to college, the colleges could increase tuition rates because there was no bill or law saying they couldn’t. If it isn't necessary, why have the need to make students pay more for an education that will not only benefit the students but the government and future itself.
The fast population growth rate of humans means that the necessity for transportation vehicles is also enormously increasing. Studies have shown that in 1999 the worldwide number of vehicles registered was 700 million. From this huge number of vehicles, the US has a large share, which includes 200 million cars and light trucks. The number of cars worldwide also grew three times faster
