The future is literally a world of possibilities. That’s what is so exciting about it – we can truly shape the world for the better. Yesterday’s rules don’t apply to tomorrow…well, that is, if you aren’t like me and believe that people actually have the capacity to do good in the world. But, that’s neither here nor there. Today, I write to you all to inform you that some people are making machines that sincerely aim at improving your every day life:
Yoooooooo – think there’s juuuuuuust a few kinks to work out before this thing can hit the market. Namely, how can we figure out how to keep this machine from giving babies concussions?
It’s a practical idea. So, bravo to the engineers who thought this one through. Props to the people who made this machine a reality. But, I don’t know. I just have this feeling that society isn’t ready for something like this. Maybe we should’ve saved the test footage for release years after these machines became normal.
Then, people would laugh and say, “OMG can you believe that almost happened?” Kind of like how today we look back and think, “can you believe we ever put whiskey in our kid’s mouth to numb his toothache?” or “can you believe we actually fell for snake oil salesmen?”
But, no. Big mistake letting this video get out now. It’s like autonomous vehicles…people hear, “no one’s driving the car,” and they’re suddenly resistant to change. This time, it’s like, “oh no – this machine will cause brain damage on my baby,” and now you’re in a hole. You’ve invested all this time and money into this invention that people are afraid to use.
Man, the future is a weird place.
