A Boston-based engineering firm recently released plans for their new supersonic jet that will transport passengers from Los Angeles to Tokyo in five hours… and with no windows, but instead full-length digital screens that instantly turn every seat into a window seat.

The screens will show images relayed from tons of tiny cameras on the jet’s exterior. Real windows create complicated problems for plane design, so the jet’s creators said a slab of screens was the next best — and maybe the actual best — option.

A record 1 billion people will travel across an international border as a tourist in 2012, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.

That means that one in seven people on the planet will participate in world traveling this year, an activity that just a few decades ago was exclusively for the wealthy. The reasons for the upswing range from prosperity in developing countries like China to a perception of a more peaceful world.

The London-based council, whose members include executives of travel companies, compiles global travel data including international airport traffic and visa records. It calculates that the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary on Dec. 13.
