Planes, trains, and automobiles that's how we get around.
But it hasn't always been the case for agents.
Humans have been adapting and revolutionizing how we travel.
So what does the future hold?
That's what we're going to be exploring in our new special series on the future of travel.
Whether it's electric powered planes, trains that go at hyper speeds, or automobiles that are full self driving, someday they will be, even though Elon promises them far too early.
In any case, it's really important to talk about where we're going and what we're going to do about climate change and a range of things.
Tune in to the future of travel, a pivot special series brought to you by Virgin Atlantic.

In the summer of 1922, two of the most famous men in the world went on a vacation together with their families in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini.
Harry Houdini taught Arthur Conan Doyle's sons how to dive and float in the hotel pool.
Conan Doyle was visiting America from England.
He later wrote that he didn't know how to describe Atlantic City because we have nothing in England at all like it.
