The problem is that they are STILL growing the size of the agriculture sector, planting more almond trees for example, even while the existing almond trees are dying from salt poisoning.
I think the point is information access, not Facebook/Twitter/whatevercrap access. Not everything is about hardware and software either. There's a lot of open, freely available projects out there, such as power generation, lighting, water filtration, housing construction, farming, etc.
I still prefer my method of getting a free hands-me-down iPhone from family and friends. My current one is an iPhone 4 that had a cracked back. After a bidding war on eBay, I got a replacement back with the tools needed and shipping included for only $2. The funniest part is, I think it's a genuine Apple part because the silkscreen is not level and so it got rejected in QA.
You think the Pi2 feels slow? What distro are you using, what's your display resolution, etc. Or are you just used to 12-core Xeon beasts with 64GB of RAM and 2TB of PCIe SSD?
The Maker Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of Hackerspaces the society has.
The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer themselves up by making things. This is usually done with CNC routers, laser cutters and 3D printers. As more money is spent on these tools, more Makerspaces are built, and the quality of the maker tools begins to diminish as the demand for different types of tools increases. This makes people buy more tools.
The above turns into a vicious cycle, causing other industries to decline.
Eventually the titular Maker Event Horizon is reached, where the only type of store economically viable to build is a Makerspace. At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world into ruin. In the case of Brontitor and Frogstar World B, the population forsook tools and de-evolved into cavemen.
If it costs 30 to make with a 3D printer and it has a shape that can be injection-molded then it means it will only cost a few cents. Put them inside cigarette packs as a surprise, like Cracker Jack.
In Canada our highways have a high speed limit of 62.1371 miles per hour. We even have a low speed limit of 37.2823 miles per hour. The roads are icy? Too bad, motherfucker! Drive at 60 km/h or you get arrested!

In Canada, peanuts are labeled "may contain traces of nuts".
I know that peanuts are not technically nuts but I still find it funny.
To be fair, that's not true at all.
They've changed a lot. They're worst than before.

They're using Brawndo to water the trees?

It doesn't matter if it comes with 4GB ROM or if you pay to upgrade to 8GB ROM. Without flash storage, your phone is useless.

Patent licenses are usually included in the price of the hardware component that uses it, which in this case would be the SoC.

Physical book? What the hell is that? Do you mean an ebook you printed with your home printer?

You want to buy a boy? You sick bastard!
I don't see how using ghosts and poltergeists will make your project more eco-friendly.
I'm not buying one of those unless it's certified free-range.
The thing is shaped like a freakin' egg. Forget wheels, just roll it.
I don't know, but given its shape I'm assuming it will come in a carton of 12.
