The travel industry quickly took up the cry of “staycations,” encouraging people to act like tourists in their own towns and cities. While a staycation might work for a weekend, it’s not quite the same as a full-fledged getaway.

The better solution? Choose a destination carefully, explore all your cost options and go somewhere! Perhaps the trip will be a day or two shorter than normal, or not quite as international as originally planned, but it will still be a trip.

Travelling and exploring new cities is an important experience that should never be completely deleted from anyone’s budget.

Do we need the Networks Air Traffic Control, run with holographic screens?

There is a big budget battle raging in Washington over the budget for 2012 federal tax, and some people in the world will end in 2012 suggests that Congress still does not expect the plot to control their work expenditures. A home of the great debates is to reduce the budget of the Federal Aviation Administration. But what about aviation security, terrorism, and on-time flight, you ask?

All good questions, and perhaps for this reason Laclair Troy and I opened a dialogue on this subject. First, new technologies should NEXTGEN ATC (Next Generation Air Traffic Control) system, and how much would it cost to go, and we can really 1 / 21 A Century of Flight ATC system have now? If so, what to watch? I personally want a system that cyber-war, availability of 100% was observed, and with the latest spectral imaging or holographic screens.

Troy was there, with additional costs and space requirements of a holographic NextGen. I understand his concerns and asks: “But, as we need more people to different areas or areas with air traffic control, would not the greater complexity and challenges of several people trying to see things different at different levels should follow? ”

It is the national airspace, air traffic controllers would be made for the holographically related, and yes, it makes a good point. It’s true, I said, but the complexity may not be so, holographic video conferencing will soon iPhones, so if you bring in a little iPhone I think the issue of complexity is controversial?

However, Troy said with conviction, “but for the iPhone-conference, with limited evidence, appeals to you most would not, except for the people, and it would probably be a cap on the number of people who could connect to. The question here is, technology is evolving? “Ok, it’s a good point.

And yet there is a YouTube video in circulation, which DARPA is a 3D holographic (Spectral Imaging) to deliver real-time situational awareness on the battlefield and this video, though, it seems more like a scalable me. Troy retorts, “Once again we come to this, but you need a big screen, otherwise you will end up with things so small you can not see.”
