David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

A lot has been said about the prevalence and in-your-face nature of the ads in Minority Report, and everyone has noticed the Lexus and other futuristic cars in the movie. But here's something I haven't heard anyone discussing. What do the people do when they're riding in their cars? They didn't have to drive; the cars drove themselves. And I find it hard to believe that a society that accepts billboards that talk to you and jump out at you three-dimensionally is happy listening to the radio while they sit in their cars. Why didn't we see them watching TV? My mom, who originally pointed this out to me, feels quite certain that they would have TVs in their cars, and I can't disagree.
