Its a shame the Kinect isn't good enough to do this(I assume; where are the games?).
Remember that to get gold you need to provide gold.
Not in the long term, Nanofabrication and eventually sub-atomic-fabrication, will let us literally re-build lead into gold, all ya need is the right amount of electrons, protons and neutrons to feed into the machine. My point is, there will be a point where the evolution of "3d-Printing", will destabilise the basic premise of economics, haves and have-nots...
But yes I was eluding to the fact that eventually currency will go totally virtual, if there is even a need for money by then; Atomic fabrication has the potential to eliminate poverty and free the world from the devastating effects of global industrialisation, if we let it....
Not *all* manufacturing will cease,
Someone will need to make the first one of these units...
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
