There are no stupid questions... Just stupid answers. Most of us will be going straight to MouseGear to buy these anniversary shirts. I know I will.
HEY! A while ago you said we should get a spot for the event first! You were just trying to throw us off track, weren't you?
:lol:
Serious though, I want to see NO running towards MouseGear. I think we can all agree that we will walk slowy through the breezeway. The key to our enjoyment, is that we don't turn into a mob. (Like Haunted Mansion's opening) Sound ok everyone?
A neat discussion to tide you over...How has EPCOT changed the world?
Here's my Five...
-Touch Screens
Since EPCOT's opening in 1982, Touch Screens have been used alot around the world. Many people's first encounter with a touch screen had to have been in Epcot's many touch screens that were used in ComuniCore kiosks and the WorldKey Information System. EPCOT had the foresight to use Touch Screens in many of the exhibits around the park.
-WorldKey information system
Ever since EPCOT opened in 1982, many places like museums, malls, and parks have used digital information systems to help people get information.
-Agriculture
since The Land opened, many of the agriculture techniques have been implented around the world. Heck, the other day I noticed a paid program for some mini-garden for your kitchen using Aeroponics. (They even mention EPCOT!)
-the Electronic Forum is already here
If you haven't noticed, you're living the future right now! The Electronic Forum from Comunicore is right here! Electronic Forums are all over the internet, and just like EPCOT's FutureChoice theatre, polls can collect information on what people think in a matter of seconds. With a click of the mouse, you can see what people from around the world have to think about important issues.
-Universe of Energy
While we haven't solved the energy problems of today, people are thinking up amazing new ways to fuel the future,and more and more people are accepting ideas of Wind, and Solar energy. And with more-and-more of wind, hydrogen, and Solor Energy choices opening up to us, they just might be our "Bridge to the future"
Now does anybody have any more to share?
