I travelled on boat yesterday, and my cabin was...
...much like Nakagin Capsule Tower apartment. Radio, yes. TV, yes. Clock-radio, yes. But no Internet connection or microwave oven.

New skyscapers,
like Burj Dubai, Al Burj, Mubarak Tower, Petronas Towers, 30 St Mary Axe, Rossija Tower, Turning Torso, Chicago Spire, Freedom Tower etc. all have great innovations. But there is not very much experience of possible problems in practice? Or do I underestimate power of today's supercomputers?
But atomic-powered elevators? If Frank Lloyd Wright's Mile High Illinois skyscaper was ever built, Greenpeace activists would have used stairs instead?
