Also, that smart window is bad ass...and I would take one in a second.

This is just another thing Americans don't need, but they will buy, and then complain or ask for a bailout when trouble arrives and they have no money to bail themselves out. I wish innovations in technology would be more focused on larger advancements like alternative energy, medical care, water purification, etc. It seems most of our innovations are about the next gadget we don't need or a new social network for your dogs.

So companies are going to produce products they know they can sell because there is a demand. You always talk about the market dictating the value of certain workers and products, this is just another exampple of what you already believe in.

Kind of like the tablets. I have a laptop, and an iphone..what do I need a tablet for?

Do you, sleeper, and Glory Days think every object that you guys don't specifically have a use for is pointless?

sleeper;1058338 wrote:I disagree. Look no further than China. They have a high savings rate and they have an economy that is growing at 9-10% per year.

Glory Days;1058451 wrote:yes i literally meant the whole wall. however i am sure most windows dont have cables etc to connect to either.

Sometimes, I hate this country.
