Tom Spring at PC World has posted some "concept" representations of the iCar.-
This writer, who now wishes to be known as "No iCar," prefers Chris Riley's representations (one of his images at left) of this seminal product; however, one must be open minded about the future, even an old Luddite.
-
As resident Luddite and extreme technophobe, No iCar is astounded at how artists have drawn this not-yet product. Whatever happened to the opulence of the 1970's (before the manufactured oil "crisis"), when automobiles were long and sleek with vinyl tops and opera windows?
-
Ahhhh, the good old days...
-
But I digress.
-
Now it seems as though cars must be designed as minimalist blocks of fibre glass, filled with enough technology to make NASA drool.
-
Must everyone be plugged into something? One might as well implant electrodes in every newborn's head, just cutting to the chase, and develop plug-in portals on various locations on the infant's head.
-
Why not? It worked on Star Trek: "You will comply" could become our new advertising buzzword slogan.
-
No iCar remembers a time when (1) big black telephones, tethered by a cord, had rotary dials and no cellphones existed (2) Apple was just a piece of fruit or a recording company (3) iPod, iMac, and iPhone were unfortunate misspellings, (4) and everyone drove a stick shift--No iCar still does.
-
But I digress again.
-
This is what reporter Spring found:
Cute! But how does one drive this little iMouse iCar?
-
OOOOhhh. The Apple iSchool iBus!
-
-
Hmmmm...The Apple iTube
-
-
No Car's favorite!!! Apple's iApple
