If Humanity loses its' connection to the earth it risks losing a vital part of its' development potential. The existence of of Nature spirits are an accepted fact of life all around the world. In certain parts (in the US an perhaps Australia), however, this awareness has been retarded. This is arrogant and shameful in my view.
Witness how the Australian aborigine was treated.

Mobility is one of our greatest challenges. I call for the development of a
new system of terminals along with a computerized system that would dispatch jitney vans

that would have onboard computers using cellular telephone technology.
To make a trip, you call the central computer which routes your trip and gives you an estimated time for pickup by the jitney van.
