Automobiles were created out of our desire to be as free as birds. Automobiles were shaped like birds in order to move fast. Now, automobiles must learn from the world where nature and birds coexist in harmony. Technology was once a way for people to realize their desires and control nature. Now, however, technology is human wisdom in the service of protecting our blue planet and its natural environment. In addition to being "oasis" for migratory birds, we want our birdhouses to be "oasis" for people that offer a glimpse of what the future may hold for us. A birdhouse might, for example, be used to catch water. Solar batteries and windgenerated electric power might then be used to remove oxygen from the water and collect hydrogen for use as the automobile fuel of the future. These "oasis" will enrich the natural environment as well as our own lives. Like migratory birds, the people of the future may one day travel in automobiles from one "oasis" to the next. 1. "Separate oxygen and hydrogen from water" Oxygen is released into the atmosphere Hydrogen is used to fuel hydrogen-powered cars 2.
