The projected cost for a passenger

[prisilabr03]

That’s exactly what’s happened with the gym equipment in our co-op fitness network. Replacing all that bulk would not only have been wasteful, but financially infeasible for most of these small businesses. So instead, we’ve built a smart layer of technology to lay on top of all that bulky, dumb mass.

The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed.The result isthat our gym today looks much like it did in the 1990s – the technology is hard to see, unless you look very closely. Indeed, it’s my observation that much of my day-to-day experience even outside the gym still looks much like it did decades ago, even though most of what I interact with is much, much smarter.

After revolutionizing the fields of online payment and electric cars, Elon dataset Musk is ready to do it again – well, maybe. The founder of Tesla Motors and the precursor to PayPal recently announced that he was working on a new transportation system, the Hyperloop, which promises to be faster and cheaper (in construction and operation) than pretty much anything:

“The Hyperloop has been vaguely described by Musk as a ‘cross between a Concorde, a rail gun, and an air hockey table.’ A better description might be an elevated tube system with a magnetic levitation system similar to high-speed bullet trains. The kicker would be the enclosed tube, which would provide a nearly friction-less surface for individual capsules to travel in.

Travel conditions could easily reach speeds of 4,000 miles per hour on longer journeys across the country or across continents. In theory, this elevated tube system could be built for a tenth of the cost of high-speed rail and a quarter the cost of a freeway. to travel from Los Angeles to New York is $100.”
