Hi Bill,
Thanks for your email. And thanks again for your fascinating IBM CSIG presentation - “IT Technology Trends in 2017… and Beyond”. A world with flying vehicles operating all the time in all flight spaces is a fascinating potential (think the Jetsons).

World University and School would like to create a STEM field site anticipating scientists and researchers in all 8k languages adding their STEM modeling, film and photographs and computational linguistic research, etc., for example, as well as a realistic virtual earth "classroom" - think again Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER (for modeling various hurricanes over the past centuries, for example, for emergency planning) - as well as one which is WIKI designable and build-able, with avatars (think OpenSimulator/Second Life) but not cartoon-esque, rather realistic. (WUaS would also like to plan such a realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels for scientific research - all on our 501 c 3, non-profit, Creative Commons' licensed wing - http:// worlduniversityandschool. blogspot.com/2016/01/14- planned-wuas-revenue-streams. html - and perhaps in conjunction with IBM and Harvard.
On our planned upcoming for-profit wing (see above 10 planned revenue streams), WUaS is also planning a realistic virtual earth - possibly to realistically model every commercial organization - and for commerce - and even historically. For example, in this virtual earth, anyone as realistic/virtual avatar could go into a virtual realistic bookstore in all ~200 countries (in their languages) and buy a virtual book (and bring it home - where you are - and read it) - or film makers could create their historical film sets in this realistic virtual earth too - or, vis-a-vis your IBM CSIG presentation air flight and ship schedulers could also plan their commercial routes, and develop their business models within this realistic virtual earth.
