[Robotgroup] Cool NASA News

[Clendon Gibson]

To me, this is just another waste. People who can't be bothered, or don't know how to plug something in to a charger will now be able to access a wealth of technology. Spare me. And these people shouldn't be allowed to use technology anyway.

Interesting but kind of scary...

In case we wondering about these mutations going on in the world, 
EMF's will now have more wireless access paths to flow through
our body's and environment. 

I wonder if these MIT people thought about this when they 
came up with the idea. I guess the more uncommon diseases
that get mutated as a result of technology, it gives the Pharm
Industry business to make $ from it and gives our Govmt
lobbyists to line the pockets of the already rich and corrupt.

See Technology isn't always bad...
