Great Scott!

I’m only on my 5th blog post and I'm already beginning to struggle for things to write about. At the start of this blog i had many interesting points to make, and yet they have all vanished from my memory. So I've decided to jot down any ideas i have to prevent this occurrence, and I've already decided on topics for the weekend, however i still had the problem of today.

At first i thought maybe just don’t do one, but to be honest if i couldn’t make one week of daily posts i didn’t see this blog working well long-term. How about a filler post? You know some random video or pictures. “Yes that could work” i thought, so i set about thinking of some links. Still thinking whilst performing my daily Facebook browse, i came across this http://www.scpr.org/blogs/newmedia/2011/09/08/nike-unveiling-future-shoes-back-future-2/ .

Great Scott! Earlier i was just finalising my idea for an essay competition entry about the future of transport, and here was a story of similar importance and topic. Yes it’s not on flying cars or teleports, but the simple fact is that one little piece of the 1980’s ‘future’ is here, and to be fair they are probably more important than any of those things. Now i must profess that when it comes to shoes, I'm left bemused by all the hype, but these, these i get.

What’s even more exciting is the patent that Nike took out last year for self-lacing shoes, meaning that potentially these could change not just your life, but the whole world. So if the economic crisis and global warming has left you facing a bleak and miserable future, just think that whilst you may be jobless and knee deep in water, you can sleep peacefully in the knowledge you could be wearing your very own pair of Nike Air Mags, i know i will.
