    As someone who grew up amid predictions of jet packs and flying cars, I tend to ignore predictions. Get me my jet pack and then we can talk about "xxx of the Future."

    This prediction is particularly weak in predicting a future that is, essentially, already here (exhibit rotation and "Trails" can be found in several zoos now)

    This website boasts 'Academic rigour, journalistic flair'. But this is petty thin. I'd expect a Professor of Wildlife Conservation to have both a more comprehensive approach and a bit more insight; it's just a pot-boiler about how he likes couple of innovations at Philly, without much further analysis.
