  • I know exactly how this is going to be used, anyone play Half Life 2?

  • You're ignoring, of course, that all technology can be used for not-so glamorous purposes. Any bit of knowledge has the potential to greatly benefit or also to worsen the future of humanity. Yes, this could be used by a government to spy on its people. As it could be used by flying vehicles to avoid collisions, or military UAVs so that human pilots are no longer necessary. How can you not see the good things that could come out of this? Don't hate the technology.

  • They always say its going to be used for humanitarian purposes, but it never is. Americans are being lied-to and spied on right now by their own government, their rights slowly stripped away, all in the name of freedom. Who's Freedom? Corporate freedom, the commercialization of the world and the suppression of the People.

    the problem it is taht the technology may be dangerous (military technology like that nuclear boomb) or dangerous for the planet and the people and the countryes dont have the responsibility to use it

  • "When the robot is knocked to the floor its twin-blades keep spinning so it can become airborne again"
