DeLorean Taxi Sends Passengers ‘Back To The Future’

‘Back to the Future’ is considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi films ever produced—generating a cult following in the 80s.



Drawing inspiration from the movie, New York-based designer Mike Lubrano—for fashion brand Nooka—turned a DeLorean car into an iconic New York City yellow taxicab.



According Lubrano, he said that automobiles “have come to symbolize the future” and the car would communicate the brand’s “futuristic philosophy”.

The SMS Celebrates Its 20th Birthday

The world’s first SMS—which stands for “Short Messaging Service”—was sent out 20 years ago from yesterday, on 3 December 1992.



The message that heralded a texting revolution—which changed the way the world communicated—was sent by Neil Papworth, then a 22-year-old engineer to his friend Richard Jarvis, who was an executive at British telecom Vodafone.



Stating simply “Merry Christmas”, this short and sweet greeting was received on a Orbitel 901 (pictured above).



Although the SMS’s popularity is on the wane with a dozen other ways to communicate via text,—Facebook, Twitter, etc.—it is still used by about four billion people in the world today.



Can you imagine a world where the SMS has not been invented?
