I'm sorry Anthony, I was at my brother's house all night.

No. I don't see the point. WHAT GOOD IS IT?

It was a joke.. I was saying, like, I know you're being facetious again because you know as well as the rest as us that "Hey look what I can do!" is just as good a reason as any for most of these companies. [/b][/quote]
Honestly I don't know that. What I do know is that companies are driven by profit. Being in R&D myself I know that innovations come along at an ever increasing rate. I also know that most of them are shelved as being purposeless and unmarketable for the present. But I am in a different sector so maybe that has something to do with my lack of understanding.
We build to order. We're asked, "Hey, we need a thing that can do this, this and this. Can you make one? And how long will it take and how much will it cost?" and we always say, "Why yes we can!" Then we make up some numbers with the understanding that they are just best guesstimates and the job is as always T&M anyway.
Perhaps I need to constantly remind myself that the purchasing public has been trained like sheep to flock to the stores for the newest, latest gadget. Why? Because God forbid someone they know has something that they don't. So very very sad.
Someone recently asked me if I had a cell with a camera. Why would I? So that I can fall into their little go over your minutes plan sending pics back and forth? I don't need it so I don't have it. Hell I didn't even have a cell until last year. Nor a DVD player. I finally got both because I finally needed them. Believe me if they hadn't quit making new releases in VHS format I STILL wouldn't own a DVD player. I got a cell because last year my living situation became.....unusual....and if and when I was home a cell made sense. A basic unimpressive cell with a basic unimpressive plan.
Ahhhh well. Bahhhhhh I say. As in humbug. Not to be confused with the bleating baaaaa baaaaaa I'll hear in line at the Wal-Mart standing behind people trying to buy the new hidden mirror screen.
And believe me anthony if we decide to go ahead and levitate cars the technology won't come from Sharp. It'll come from.....elsewhere.....and it'll be because the artificially supressed need for them has been erased i.e no more oil. But that really isn't the way we'll go anyway sooooo..............moot point.
