in star trek generation "all good things" (stardate 47988) a temporal anomaly that travails backwards in time prevented the formation of life on earth and undoubtedly countless other species throughout the alpha and beta quadrant (possibly even the delta and gamma? consider that the anomaly first appears in the neutral zone, and is more than visible from earth, primordial earth anyway).
i'm sure that's a higher body count than that voyager episode.
you've completely missed the point. the appeal of computers is that we can create streamlined environments for doing what we want to do. the real world is horrible for doing work. you have to move around to get at stuff (even if you're not wasting energy walking around in a VR world, your wasting time..), you have to manage all that paper by yourself, your desk gets messy, and hardcopy doesn't even let you copy/paste! why would you want to recreate all the flaws of the offline world?
as for those who can't learn how to use the superior interface; they will soon be superseded by a generation which has already learnt the technology, so are they really an issue?
where did this silly notion that the intuitive interface is the best interface come from?
lego and mechanno gave your generation their first experience in manipulating object in an object oriented environment? wtf kinda sensory deprived environment did your generation grow up in?
plack's quantum principle states that any classical wave (light, for example) can only be emitted or absorbed in discrete quanta. a quanta is the indivisible unit of a classical wave.
But science gives us so much more to work with. Most "educated, reasonably intelligent people" acknoledge that creationism is possible, but it adds little to no more value to a human life than. Science does!

The astronomical clock...an "astronomical clock"
showing the current position and rotation speed
of different radio pulsars.
By calculating the deceleration rate over time,
the discoverers will be able to data KEO
as being 50,000 years old...

but do humans and apps. share enough common actions?

numbers
.operators
..logic operators
...decompression algorithm (is message size an issue?)
then encode stuff like:
chemistry class, genome..
electrics class, processor design
etc, etc
what technology should we share with them?

doesn't this mean that there are finite colors?

i should really say "An understanding of science does!",
sorry.

not extroverted athletes.
remember people, "sports is our enemy". it threatens the survival of our intellectual culture.

your 16?
and that (the commercialization of a relatively simple system) "just doesn't seem right" to you!?
now that scares me. i hope you have a plan for surviving technology saturated world your going to live in...
