Anyone promoting cloud services like it's the best thing ever probably does not travel with the train very often...

I have a lot of respect for official and serious space programs where scientists and engineering astronauts do good work for the sake of all. Space-travel "for fun" seems an extreme waste of money and resources to me.

Cars get a sentimental value for sure. Handed in the 2013 Volvo S60 today which took us safely to anywhere we wanted to for 5,5 years and for about 84860 kilometers. Brought my son home from the hospital in that car. It's a diesel so it became difficult to justify driving it. Since it is a limousine we ran out of space on our trips to Italy. The new hybrid Volvo's are too expensive for our budget. So we switched to a hatchback Hybrid Toyota Corolla. Hoping the new car will bring us memorable and safe travel experiences too!

This article about using the Rhein river better for allowing commuters to travel optimally between the cities on this mighty river immediately brought the Duck Boat tours in Boston, USA to mind.

What if we had amphibian vehicles and buses, preferably electrical powered, which could move on water as well as on land? These vehicles could cut off the meandering flow of the Rhein river and essentially go in a straight line connecting Karlsruhe with Cologne, Düsseldorf and Duisburg.
