I'll make a complaint on the way this article is written which I think is quite damaging: the sense that all of this work is being done by "scientists" and "experts" who will develop this technology in their ivory towers and make it available to the public at some point. Just wait around and you will be handed these gifts.
This style sucks because it separates the reader from "experts" (you are not one), and it implies that you cannot participate even by intent. Experts will decide what is best for you, and you must receive it and like it. The notion that the future is something produced by a few and the majority only receive it passively is an affront to a free society.
- maaarghk 11y agoI'm pretty confused by your logic, I certainly don't think that it implies, for example, that the reader would be unable to go into education and go down a career path where they would become one of the few experts who are working in this field. It even links to papers and technical articles.
- mohaine 11y agoI'm assuming that is because this future WILL be created by experts. That isn't elitist, but if you want to help you will have to put in the time an effort to became an export.
