Indianapolis Int’l Airport: Roving Robot Responds


It’s on wheels and looks like a thinking bot. However, the self-propelled wheelie is actually just a live face on a TV monitor who answers questions from inquiring passengers. The Indy info expert sits in a studio somewhere in IND airport and operates a two-way sight and sound system.

Of course, some day everything will be run by real robots. They’ll actually steer ships, drive cars and fly airplanes. For veteran seniors who’ve been there and done that, there’s hope that armies of brave bots will also fight our wars. www.indianapolisairport.com

Philadelphia Museum of Art Thru Wide-Angle Lens PDF Print E-mail


Tho artistically distorted by the roaming travel4seniors.com editor’s creative lens, seasoned movie fans can still recognize this memorable image. This is where Sylvester Stallone scaled the steps all the way to the top in 1976’s Rocky movie.

On second thought, maybe this could be what the steps would actually look like to a challenged senior jogger about to attempt climbing all 72 of them. Suggestion: If you’re in Philly with your grandkids, and before they dash off to school, run up the steps with them and into one of the world’s most fascinating museums.
