Oh yeah I've seen this, but being realistic if they put those up in public they simply would get smashed.

If they can be smashed that is. They are making big progressions in todays technology that can make stuff virtually unbreakable. (they recently made new material, that's harder than diamond, more flexible. I don't think it can be made transparent yet though).

Maybe but that might be expensive and people could find other ways to ruin it like spraypainting over it. Plus are you sure they'd be able to make the actual touchscreen material unbreakable?

Hmm Idk, we might get somewhere, but if this is the future, it would be amazing. I mean most of the human problems of technology would be gone.

[Scenario]

I'm not a fan of what people have been saying we should look forward to in the future. Quite frankly, I like technology, but not enough to be surrounded by nothing BUT technology. I need my time away from computers and stuff, too!

Like, for example, here in the U.S. we have cars that can park themselves (or at least do the majority of the parking). We have cars that determine if something is in your blind-spot or behind your vehicle. Quite frankly, I don't want any of that because it just gives people more reason to be lazy.

I was taught to just glance over my shoulder before switching lanes and to use my mirrors to find out if something's behind me. It isn't that difficult to drive at all; people just need to quit being so damned lazy!

That doesn't mean they should stop inventing stuff like this, if you are not lazy, drive a normal car, stuff like this is part of being lazy and part of what we achieved, people need to advance in everything, from mechanic to automatic, it's not just because of lazy people, but to prove that we are advancing.

You're telling me I need a car that can park itself to prove that we're advancing in technology? No. It's a waste of time and it simply contributes to the laziness of people.

Well, then keep struggling with parking, let those asian women hit your car everytime they park... if everyone kept doing everything like you, we may just live with radio in our houses, technology is never enough, one after another. A lot of people wish they could live in sci fi world, but little do they know, without SMALL advances in our time, just little steps may guide us there, but you are just like, nah I'd love to drive a freaking 1969 chevrolet, that's real man's car, crash it somewhere.

My point is, you should never stop in technology, without it, we may just live in caves.

What's wrong with a radio?
