Which excites you the most???

Here are a few from this article:

I was watching a talk on 3d printing of organs using cells.
I was amazed at how close we are to actually making it a possibility.

I don't like any of them, they are all bad. Especially the car thing, guess I will have to stick to buying cars made pre-1990s, my car can't drive for me. These days you can't even get a new car without a damn screen on the console! Which I refuse to have!

These things are all super close to becoming real and having a real impact, but they'll probably be blocked by corporations who are going to lose money or something.

I was thinking the same.

My first thought too. I mean if enough time and money is invested it could be like a decade away, but "several years" is a massive overestimate.

Cool

ew. I don't want people understanding me when I am insulting them in French

Hopefully this will actually be a thing so those awful and abusive sweatshop locations can die

you realize millions of third-world families depend on the incomes generated by those awful sweatshops

You're not seriously trying to justify human rights-violating sweatshops are you?

Artificial human organs? Some of these are kinda creepy

tell me what happens to those millions of workers then when their factories close and they don't have the $2.50 a day that was bringing rice and bread to the table.

some of this is scary to think about tbh

Most corporations will try to block them, but the smart ones will hop and the bandwagon and try to monopolize these new technologies and re-brand them as their own.

The one about the plastic eating thing is going to be our apocalypse.

He's not justifying it or saying it's okay....

But it's a fact that these 3rd world countries that are getting paid mere cents for their hard labor are in fact better off then they were before these corporations began manufacturing within their borders. It's the harsh reality of life and it sucks, but still it's better than nothing.

Think about this, if those 8 year old kids weren't working for that money to be able to support their family with food and shelter, they'd be farming or hunting for whatever little food they could find and it will maybe last them the day. Every civilization went through it before they eventually moved up and began educating themselves and bettering their way of life.
