I think it won't change the world because technical solutions rarely solve political problems. Call me a cynic if you wish.

- penguindev 13y agoTechnology hasn't stopped hunger, the claims of mad scientists notwithstanding. Anyone with right brain critical thinking can see that population will just keep increasing, and it has. Even if you 'solved hunger' you'd have even more environmental problems to solve. There is such a thing as a 'pyrrhic scientific victory', I think. Too many discoveries like these and the planet will be done for. So now we have an invention that will deplete one resource instead of another. Awesome, go science!
- Blahah 13y agoWhile it hasn't stopped hunger, it certainly has reduced it. The Green Revolution was the reason for nearly a billion people being lifted out of abject malnutrition. It was a technological revolution brought about by the application of science to agriculture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution Go science!
