Absolutely @hackerwhacker.

That is a prime example of the acceleration of breakthroughs...that and autonomous cars.

I recall reading about AC in 2013 and the projections were that there would be a prototype available in 2025....yet 4 years later, they are in the streets in Phoenix.

5G was projected to hoped to have a demonstratable system by the 2019 games...now I read there is a full operations system slated for the 2018 games and there will be major implementation by 2023.

What was a decade long process a couple years ago gets shortened to a few years....that is the accelerating pace of things.

yes very well said. We are all going to be connected machines very soon.

Oh dont start that...you will get the anti-tech people stirred up...

I had a debate with one a while back....it is simply amazing to be debating someone who is arguing the demerits of technology and how it is a plague on humanity...on the Internet.

Log off and send me a smoke signal.

I will just tangle you over IOTA :p
