for Treasury of Scripture,A book is being written about this wonderful device. Steve Kemper, a well-known journalist, has sold the rights to the book to the prestigious Harvard Business School Press for $250,000.
The amazing thing is that the publisher does not even know what this world-changing invention is! For that matter, neither do the host of technical writers who are announcing it. And the inventor doesn't plan to reveal the secret until sometime in 2002.
What is known is that a few key technology figures and investors have bought into the plan and can hardly contain their enthusiasm. Steve Jobs, for example, says that people will want to build cities around the concept. Influential Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr, is one of many financiers to approve of the project.
The device is called "IT" and goes by the code name Ginger. Educated guesses are being made, based on the inventor's past track record and known patents. One of the most popular theories is that it is a personal mobility device, possibly even a small hover craft or magnetic levitation vehicle.
If it does turn out to be a fast, clean, inexpensive method of transportation, it would give new meaning to the Biblical prophecy of Daniel 12:4. "But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." (NIV)
We will track the progress of this new development as it unfolds.
