If those are the Big Ideas, then we are bankrupt of ideas. Also, didn't anyone read Stephenson's The Diamond Age? Must have, to come up with skyscrapers out of diamonds. Gee, can diamond buildings be heated and cooled and ventilated efficiently? What about ambient sound control? By the way, where's my damn jetpack?
