Comments on: Tomorrow’s Mobile Home http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/paleofuture/2012/03/tomorrows-mobile-home/ A history of the future that never was Fri, 17 May 2013 21:40:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 By: Vance Cummings http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/paleofuture/2012/03/tomorrows-mobile-home/#comment-731 Vance Cummings Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:43:58 +0000 http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/paleofuture/?p=1945#comment-731 Through contemplation of futuristic thought process one can only believe that such items will be in common place consumption. However one would like to believe that we would use natural resources in a more productive way such as dwellings that use the earths warmth and cool to control the climate in living quarters. I love the look and idea of such homes but cant help wonder is it not practicle to build homes into the crust of the earth. I would love the modern mobil home! I would also like it to take flight by haveing the means to move itself through a rotating outside shell or some type of device to give lift to the object. Possibly floors that can protrude from the shell as wings allowing harrier type lift.
