27 Science Fictions That Became Science Facts In 2012

jadinolf:
Well, it looks like a good read

Thanks

Renegade:
The solar power panels at $0.40 per watt look very good! :D

barney:
Veddy interrrestink.  (That works better verbally than visually, methinks  ;D.)

Can't ya just imagine what tract housing would look like with that 3D printer?  Or what FEMA might - I did say might! - do with it?

And at my age, some of the prosthetic stuff is starting to look really attractive!  (Sixty-ninth birthday today, so I'm now officially sixty-eight (68)(and, fortunately, still counting) .)

But I have to wonder.  With the robot(s), driverless cars, pilotless spacecraft, and brain hacking,  how much longer are we going to be around/tolerated  :-\ :P?!?

TaoPhoenix:
Most of that stuff was just "kinda neat", but feels a bit peripheral to how regular life feels. The winner of the article is the Driverless Car. That's the one I think will lead to wholesale cultural adjustments. (But can they handle NY Cabbies using legally-questionable moves!?)
