Education

Here we see children learning 'virtual' semaphore. Say Hi from the future kids!

I get around round round I get around.

Look. I know some of you will find this hard to believe. Others will find it terribly ironic. While some of you will just shake your heads like you've always known. But when we come from, there was a paradigm shift in automotive thinking and the industry went through a massive re engineering to come round and realize that there was one car in the history of man that actually had it right.

The Delorean. Believe it. In The Future, all cars are Deloreans. Much like Taco Bell in your unforgettable 1990s classic Demolition Man, only with cars instead of food. The best engineering minds in the world held a three hour virtual summit (it was originally to last three weeks) many years back. Designers toiled virtually day and night (since it was virtual, people from around the globe could participate, hence both day and night toiling). Ideas, designs, models, all were thrown about in a frenzy with the aim of finding the perfect car.

It was in the last hour of that momentous forum, that a breakthrough occurred. If the designers of today (your tomorrow) could not, with all their collaborative power come to an answer; then perhaps they should start from the beginning. And so they did.

As an aside, our computer technology is far beyond yours. You see in The Future, all computers are Powerbooks, but thats another story. Anyway, our computers can go through the most complex of calculations, the most accurate simulations, all in seconds. And so what did these designers of The Future do? Quite simply, they decided to simulate the evolution of the automotive world from scratch. They started from the beginning, and worked their way up through the years. The computer would calculate every choice available at every point, run it, see what worked then run it again. It was in the last hour that the computer program was running and suddenly came to a halt. It had stopped at the year 1981.

The rest, as they say, is history. Hahahaha! Well not for you, but you know what I mean.

With that, the Delorean saw its rebirth. In only a matter of months, all automobiles were returned to their respective factories, scrapped, melted down, and recycled for use as parts for the new cars. Every manufacturer began assembling Deloreans. It became much like aspirin in your time. The same chemical compound, just different manufacturers. Clearly then, the Delorean also became the worlds fastest selling automobile, shattering all previous records combined. Everybody drove one. From the CEOs to the custodial engineers, the Fry's worker, to the sports enthusiast. The Delorean fit perfectly in any situation.

And don't worry all you soccer moms. There are plenty of Delorean mini vans in The Future too. See, in The Future the car most of you know as The Delorean, is one of two models (excluding military models). There's the classic Delorean, known in The Future simply as "Car", followed by the extended Delorean (the family car).

Some of you may ask, "wait, what about air travel" to which many of us from The Future would just roll our eyes. I'll try to be a bit nicer. The answer to your question is quite simple. The logical conclusion to come from this grand restructuring of transportation engineering, was that all planes should be Deloreans too. A thought not all that original, since it was obvious to us from your history, that your society arrived at the same conclusion much earlier. Our history technicians found video-graphic proof of a doctor in the late 1980s who in fact did develop such a Delorean. In fact much about your 1980s was spot on, but I'll save that for another time.

Good Morning

Let me be the first to welcome you. I'm sure you have many questions, and over time, myself and the other board members will do our best to answer them. We have a lot of work to do in order for this dream to become a reality for you all. There are books to write, bodies of law to create, and flying cars to develop, so please bear with us in our early growth. In closing, Des Moine says, "Hello from the future."
