Compressed air cars or CAVs, might be on your street before you know it. Indian carmaker Tata is already making them. The technology uses compressed air to drive old-fashioned car engine pistons instead of combusting gas or diesel fuel to create a burst of air to do the same thing. The car can cruise at 35 mph with air and then at the highway speeds with any fuel that is combustible.

Back in 2000, I became one of the first Internet Jocks (IJs) at ClevelandHits.com and it signified to me that the Internet was now a viable source of communication. Twitter has been slowly rising from the shadows of Facebook as the social media communication of choice because it's just more public.
What do you think of the recent MTV TJ revolution?
