The world of tomorrow we are creating for ourselves and our children will be one of traffic congestion, pollution, and an ever-dimmishing natural world being covered in asphalt. We need to change our transportation policies -- we all know this -- but the question is: in what way? Pneumatic tubes transporting people via individual pods, operating on Internet based protocols is, as has been shown, the best solution. This will give people their freedom and space; reduce pollution, both chemical and noise; end costly, stressful, and unproductive traffic jams; increase safety; decrease dependence on foreign oil; and, most importantly, usher in the future that technology has been promising us.

Why do you have to be naked? Posted by: ryan at August 18, 2005 2:03 PM |
Why do you have to be naked? You don't have to be, but it is an option that competing technologies such as monorails can't offer. Posted by: Lyle Zapato at August 18, 2005 2:20 PM |

What if you get sick and vomit? Then vomit would be splashing all over the place until you got to your destination. Posted by: ryan at August 18, 2005 3:28 PM |

In such a situation, packets of vomit absorbent will be deployed, keeping the cabin dry and odor-free. The passenger can then redirect their pod to their bathroom terminal and hop right into the shower (and since they are traveling naked, there's no worry about soiled clothing.) The Inteli-Tube solution asks Mankind to consider the question: Which is worse, the risk of vomiting on yourself in the privacy of your own pneumatic tube pod or the risk of taking traditional mass transit and having the poor vomit on you?

I believe this to be a sound personal delivery system. I wish to know more about pneumatic's and the scienticious powers these mechanisms possess. If man-kind were to harness this strange and wonderful new inventitron could it be used with Prussia's straight regiments? I also fear Indo-China or the Boer's may use pneumatics in a bid for control of the East's opium dens. If this causes opium to rise above three cents a bucket, Victoria will surely have a thing or two to say! Posted by: jt at August 20, 2005 12:29 AM |
