Reminds me of the statement of Capt. Picard when he told a newly awakened politician that the economics of the future are different.
I was in School at that time but it set me thinking!
I then understood that with a Replicator, you could eliminate want and all the problems associated with it!
Now when i am grown up, i realise that want is driving development also and, like all science projects, has its pros and cons.
Please, can i have a non-neutral karma now?
