Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 9:50 pm...because it isn't 3D?
Yesterday I had to go into the defib clinic for a warrant of fitness, and the clinician mentioned that the system had updated me for the end of daylight saving. I have junk inside my chest which is a lot cleverer than my microwave, which got me thinking about today's technology. I had an hour to kill before my next appointment, so I popped into a couple of shops in town, just to look at the stuff I couldn't afford. Both had 3D printers on display and working, which kind of threw me a bit. Who here really, really wants a 3D printer, and why?
One was printing the world's most expensive cheap plastic comb, but it's been a long time since I had a need for a comb.
The electronics stores have certainly changed since the last time I looked, l guess they have to, as so many people are buying that sort of stuff online -- I prefer that myself, as the retail prices are quite freaky compared to shopping around online. On the other hand, Noel Leemings clearance store had a 50 inch Plasma for $600, which would be awfully tempting, if I had $600... but then again, plasma is obsolete, apparently. There is a huge list of stuff which I haven't even got around to considering, yet, and already obsolete. Is the pace of new technology increasing, or am I just getting too old?
