This could actually get out of shape people to exercise. Just put their lazy asses on a treadmill and feed several volts of electrical stimulation to their spine. I smell a business opportunity. brb starting company
The main point is about writing by hand in general and losing those skills over time, really. First cursive, then printing. The article brings up cursive as the precurser to a loss in handwriting skills, basically. Oh, but what's my point right? What with progress and whatnot. Well, imagine being in a situation where you are away from a computer or text-like device and needed to write something. If you couldn't accurately write something with pen/pencil and paper, you'd be totally boned. And unlike pencil and paper, computer files/texts can get corrupted. Or even lost if there's a power outtage. So really, losing cursive skills is something to be concerned about.
The only useful (and thus, profitable) app will be the one that embeds a Bluetooth device unto our brains, allowing us to communicate through sheer willpower.
If Sall is such an ace at programming, why are we still typing on our archaic pads of keys instead of walking around the internet in perfect virtual reality?
What's with the "space race is over, now it's time for the space exploration race"? We've been exploration space for decades, people. 'Exploration' does not SPECIFICALLY mean going out into space and physically exploring it with our bodies. Exploration is gaining a better understanding of something through scientific means (such as space probes, cameras, satellites, and robots), which is something that is not at all new.
The race that will be starting would be more of a "who can land a dude on another planet first" kind of race. Granted, it's still exploration - just not the only kind.

We all have. Humanity is Barry White's sex doll. Shit, son, where've you been these past infinities?

Isn't it common knowledge that Barry White and sex goes hand in hand? Can't have one without the other.

This computer is really only worth money if it talks to you in the voice of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.
I can see why he got a perfect score so fast. He's from Beaver Creek, OH.

If the car itself makes an annoying noise, can anyone image how awful the car alarm is gonna be?
