musings of wrath

Ever wanted to change the color of your shirt to match your date’s dress?

Ever wanted a single-page newspaper that holds 50 pages of news information that you can cycle through like on a computer?

Ever wanted a paper-thin movie screen that you can tape to the wall like a poster and watch movies on it?

Ever wanted to point at LCD’s and call them “obsolete”? (Especially since they’re only just now hitting mainstream on the open market?)

Only problem with this? It needs plastic, a product of oil, to make. So we save all the trees, only to suck up more oil from the ground. I’m not sure, but I recall reading that someone is trying to develop a carbon-based plastic that might replace petroleum-based plastics completely. That is, humanity’s waste becomes toys, clothing, cars, etc.

We’re a few steps away from giving back to the environment what we’ve taken, but we’re still far away from making reparations.
