It seems this reading touched on an idea from last week, kind of in a round about way, but it made me once again think about why some things in design fiction don’t get created or don’t become widespread. Because the real world can be difficult like that. Economic factors etc. mean some inventions are delayed, or never come to be. However, this article explains that that was more the case in the past, nowadays, we can create and advance pretty much anything and reproduce it like crazy. Pretty empowering, it seems the more humanity advances, the quicker it advances also. Each big new invention has less waiting time then the last, and then suddenly a new thing will come up,  because science has become so…awesome. And scientists have for the most part, banded together to get the ball rolling, but as the article explains, physicists have branched off somewhat and have been forced to become more creative, which is cool. It kind of breaks my mindset of science being all about what I learned in Chemistry last year, and more about innovation and doing something awesome for humanity. Badass.
