It's either that or pull a "Logan's Run" on old folks. Except please up the age limit, as I'm already over 40.

I can't help but imagine the future being entirely credit based (ie NOBODY will have a positive balance) or a giant reset button falls from the sky after your riots happen, Mike.

The giant, technologically advanced credit machine will be repaired and will work even better in its next instantiation.

Look how far we're getting along with four legged robots?

Actually, this will blow you away. Marvelous yet totally creepy.

It's things like this and the advances being made in the medical field that make me hope that I don't get sent off to war and die before I get to see it (I'm 23). That is extremely cool.

Actually, this is MIT stuff funded by the government so we don't have to go to war. Weight 265lbs payload 350lbs. What else we going to use it for?

Well, might make a perfect companion/wheelchair without wheels to carry my fat ass around when I get old.
