DAILY INNOVATION BRIEF
By Journalists Edward Kane & Maryanne Kane
WONDER WHAT YOUR MENU WILL BE IN 2054?
- Experts using AI Midjourney have brought to life the foods of the future - 30 years from now. The menu is quite bizarre. Here's a look at what's for dinner in 2054:
- You'll be eating sustainable cuisine with a low carbon footprint
- The menu includes:
- Lots of lab grown meat, including steak
- Meat balls from aquatic plants
- Cricket salad
- Lots of new veggie varieties like fern azoila
- Bugs very high in protein and nutrition like crickets, worms and ants will be superfood offerings
- 3D printers creating your food will be an important part of every kitchen
- Red meat and dairy products that have a high carbon footprint will be of dwindling importance
- According to AI, the menu will be good for you and the environment and will be a big weapon in the battle against Climate Change
- Bon Appetit, but count me out on the crickets and other insects!
BREAKTHROUGH MILESTONE IN FLYING TAXIS
- Houston's airports, Bush, Hobby and Ellington, have joined California-based Wisk Aero to develop and deploy the infrastructure needed to make flying taxis part of the travel mix in the greater Houston area. This is a new milestone for flying taxi service and the Wisk aircraft is unique. Here's what we know:
- The partners will establish vertiports for the flying taxis to vertically take off and land at the airports and around the city and suburbs
- The development planning, vetting it with communities and then building the vertiports will take several years
- The Wisk flying taxis are all-electric, autonomous passenger drones
- They're controlled by a human operator on the ground
- The vehicle takes off like a helicopter and then transitions to forward flight
- It can carry 4 passengers, has a range of 90 miles and a top cruising speed of 138 mph
- They're expected to be flying commercially in Houston and elsewhere by 2030.
