    If apple or microsoft or Google put anti gravity personal vehicles on the market this year, can you imagine the chaos that would result within a few months or at most a couple of years.

    95% of the population are absolutely NOT READY for that much freedom and energy availability.

    My point exactly. Now imagine introducing fancy technology and 'free' energy into that.

    It boggles my mind.

    and just is to judge when we are ready for new technology?
    you maybe surprised at how quickly we do become acceptable of the new!
    even though we and i mean our age group may find new technology hard to fathom ,it is fact that our children are adapting to it very quickly.

    just as we(our age group) fumble around trying to figure out how to work a i pad.
    a three year old already can navigate it.

    i don,t think anyone would be upset but be welcome the tech in their lives as a means to empower themselves.

    Empowered dysfunctionality is my idea of hell getting hotter.

    I still say most people, and that includes babies being born today, are not ready for it. There has to be a shift first.
