Heard an interesting bit on NPR a few days ago about how the love affair with the automobile is being killed off by Web 2.0.

Kids are growing up without a cool car to cruse the strip because the need for social interaction is filled online by Facebook, Twitter, etc. "You could have two Corvettes and drive them both at the same time and not look as cool as you could make yourself look on Facebook." (sorry Hugh)
With out the love for their first Camaro, the perception of an automobile has changed from defining lifestyle necessity to just another mode of transportation.
Maybe Detroit car makers should diversify their portfolio by embracing web 2.0 technology services.
