OK, apparently,
you don't know shit.
Compile your own list James.
Why is the computer you are using finite? Because it has reached the current limits of your human engineering to date. Sure, a hundred years ago it was a conglomeration of levers, gears, and dreams.
And it won't advance until it harnesses organics. It needs living brain cells to become closer to the human brain it tries to emulate.
Until then, it will be nothing more than an electrical recording and recalling device capable of operating things, and entertaining us.
Why is the light over your head an LED? Because the old incandescent was limited to converting current into intense heat which made a filament glow white hot in a vacuum.
But it was a big step up from the gas and oil lighting of 100 years prior it replaced.
Are electric vehicles the future? No. Just another marketing ploy. It does more damage to the Earth to produce one, than it saves in it's finite lifespan of use.
But idiots think they are "Saving the Earth" by plugging in their limited distance toy and charging it.
What they don't comprehend is that somewhere, more power has to be available to the electrical grids to allow for charging their batteries.
And since most of the Hydro-Electric has been tapped, other generation means must be cranked up. And those means are fueled by finite fuels.
Limited, and when gone, your descendants will be using
that days energy supply. Most foreseeable currently is Hydrogen. But not until the big guys can find a way to sink their talons into the public and market it at the maximum monetary bottom line.
Just to name a few, James. But hey, it isn't my job to stimulate your brain. Think for yourself.
Just how much do
YOU know? Or is your only talent what is displayed here? Pandering to your political allies.
