Industrial Cities

Technology:

As depicted in this futuristic city, the future will become much more industrial. Buildings will become closer to each other and instead of being bright and colorful, the world transforms into a much more dull and colorless. It also seems that Coca-Cola is still a drink in the future meaning that it’s still a leading drink. In the sky, there are flying vehicles where traffic flows in one direction; but it seems rather unorganized meaning that without traffic signals the future is accident prone. Everything seems rather dusty and old which means that maintenance isn’t a concern as people seem to be airborne. However, trains and boats are still used most likely for those who can’t afford a futuristic car. The train resembles a bullet indicating that it’s much more efficient to travel on land. If a train wasn’t faster as a flying car than train services will be far in profit; thus they needed to match a car’s speed by creating a much more efficient way to travel. Though, it doesn’t seem like a boat has advanced as much, but the engines could be made quicker. It’s also important to note that some buildings are actually bigger than a car’s travel route which indicates that people who aren’t experienced would crash into them. As a result, licenses might not be given as easily and laws are stricter in order to have more experienced drivers on the road. This indicates that in the future cities will be more based in the air in terms of travel; however, for those who prefer land, they still have the options to choose from a train and boat.

How would people react to flying cars? Why are buildings larger than the maximum height cars travel by? Why does the city look more industrial and badly maintained? Will people accept these changes? How far will people be willing to go to adapt to these changes?

While flying cars may be a cool idea, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily safe. As depicted in the picture cars seem to drive at a lower height than the taller buildings which means that it’s dangerous. Just because laws and customs changes when obtaining a driver’s license it doesn’t necessarily mean that people will be great drivers. Also, with the lack of traffic signals it seems like the airways are rather unorganized which may cause mayhem.
