Getting started

To spur things along, let me offer up some themes that some might want to pursue:

TRANSPORTATION -- How are we going to get around in 25 years? Will the roads just keep getting more congested? Will commuter trains or trolleys make a comeback? Are buses the wave of the future?
SPORTS -- What's going to change in the world of sports? Will new sports kick out the old ones? Will Bristol remain a sports-crazy town or is something else going to happen?
BUSINESS -- Is ESPN going to keep growing until it, well, takes over? Is there some other company or industry that's ready to leap into the big time? Is the next ESPN in somebody's garage now? What could it be?
GOVERNMENT -- How will City Hall change? Will the form of government remain intact? Will we have a new city hall building? Is government going to move online? Will we vote on our phones?
NEWS -- How will people find out what's going on in 2035? What's going to be different?
FOOD -- Are we still going to eat the same stuff or will the grocery stores and restaurants shift their offerings in the decades to come? Salad bars were a new thing 25 years ago. What's going to be there in 2035 that isn't around today?
HEALTH -- It's probably a dangerous topic at the moment, but what's the future hold? Will we still have Bristol Hospital? Will we still go to doctors or will we put our fingers in a computer device and have data sent off to Mumbai for analysis? Will we be healthier? Will we live longer?
There's so much more to tackle. This is just a start to get folks thinking.
