The stock market is being propped up by the Plunge Protection Team so it doesn't look as bad as it is. Unfortunately, once the shit hits the fan on that one, the economic rollercoaster of 2001-2002 is going to look like a friggin merry-go-round for retarded kids.
You have a valid point, however I think the hardest part of this would be to dissect the learning process itself and find what causes people to learn and what impedes some from learning faster than others. Once that question is solved, I doubt that would be a serious issue. I'm thinking the more complex issue would have to do with individual rights and whether a 6-year-old can go live on his own, get married, etc.
It opens a can of worms unto itself in moral complexities. But if it were possible, I think that someone would imbibe themself with the genius to answer the problem.
You're right, but how do you enforce read only in a theoretical device? I have a few friends, myself included, who think the whole "alien conspiracy" is really just future anthropologist humans who are checking out the past. Except they've been seen, so there's a paradox.
Who knows, maybe some grey roundhead people came 3.5billion light years to watch us kill each other like savages.
I still want to see a digital version where multiple people can plug in AND have seperate rings AND talk at the same time. It's not a technological feat, it's a matter of "will people buy it"
The brain works in funny ways... I'm sure it would be possible to condense 16+ of experience and interaction in a virtual world into the span of say, a few weeks of hyperlearning.
This one is definitely in our future, once we realize the power of knowledge. It's simply a device that will bypass the learning process and education system that takes 16+ years and just beams information and knowledge into your memory. If we every figure this one out, we'll reach a golden age of humanity.
This would allow people to plug their mobile phones into a cradle device, then use any phone in their house instead of having to have a landline phone. The idea consists of a cradle device (or multiple cradles, a base station (that utilizes the wiring of the house, and converts the analog signal to digital so mutiple mobile phones can be used at the same time), and digital-to-analog converters for each analog phone in the house.
Shut up you goddamn hippy. All you people every spout is corporate this and corporate that. If you want to start a revolution KEEP going to work and just fuck everything up there for as long as you can. Eventually it will collapse in on itself from failure.
That's how the revolution will be fought, not with guns but with intelligence.
I'm so angry I'm going to maybe go and type about it on the internet and search for a warez key and then I'm going to look at porn.
WTF?
ARG WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL MICRO$OFT?!?!
Ok, and then I ate some breakfast and my vision came back after blacking out last night because I was so angry at microsoft that I drank three liters of rum in an hour straight and goddamn I had no idea there was an ACTIVATION CODE ON THE BOTTLE.
So now I'm living in a bridge down by the river driking benzene and eating crickets laced in LSD 25. SCREW YOU MICROSOFT. GOD BLESS LINUX!
It's because our philosophy of a socialist capitalism, or mixed economy as many like to call it, has failed.
The name of capitalism has been hi-jacked since the industrial revolution and it's finally catching up with us. Companies don't owe a damn thing to anyone, and demanding that they do will only cause them to seek ways to subvert this Robin Hood mentality. Mostly by sticking it to the consumers.
Germany couldn't possibly have anything to teach the US about their mistakes. Better to let crash and burn at this point than to become the next on the list of enemy states.
You have 48 hours to cease sending spam and give up. If you fail to stop sending spam after this timeframe, we will remove you from the Internet forcibly and swiftly. We will track you down and destroy your lists. Insecure servers will no longer be regarded as innocent relays, they will be dealt with swiftly and justly as well.
You have 48 hours to comply with this ultimatum. Act responsibly with email and you will reap the benefits. Use spambot and harvesters and our forces will react with force.

The moral enigma of prgrammers:
The ultimate goal of a good programer is to do away with repetitive tedious work. As that happens, processes streamline and less employees are needed for the same operations until eventually they are all replaced.
The programmer is here to replace unskilled workers with robots. Don't you think that's worth a load of money to a CEO who is looking 5-15 years down the road? The problem of today is that they are no longer looking at the road, they are looking at the tail-lights ahead of them and guessing whether the guy will brake or go.

HAHA, that's a messed up outlook. I guess it makes sense all the jobs are going to India.

The assumption was that the device would be used ethically. We already have devices to brainwash people, it's called television.

May I suggest a platic material for those who find this funny.
All you have to do these days is just patent the damn thing and wait for someone else to build it. Then sue the hell out of them.
dammit I just knew someone beat me to this.

I'm sure some telco employee is probably going to read this now and say: "OMGLOLBBQ, that's not the future, we're fucking doing it right now!"

And then I'll never get the royalty payments that I obviously deserve

It's already at that point, just look at the stuntaz who trick out their "b0x3n" with neon and chrome.
You are correct, I must have been too high on coke and heroin in the 80s to remember correctly.
I'm not getting a raise, I might as well pirate some uber-sweet software that they think they need so badly instead of happy employees.
