Volunteer? People give blood because they want to help someone who they usually envision as having a horrible illeness not because they want some rich, old guy to live longer than the norm.

I think there will more likely be a blood trade where the young (or criminal organ harvesters) sell blood to the old. Either that or some sort of blood Ponzi scheme similar to Social Security where you pay blood in when you are young that is immediately used by the old and recieve blood from the young when you are old. Of course, everything breaks down when the previous generation becomes smaller than they current one. Although, I would not be surprised if by that time there would be synthetic blood that would serve the same purpose.

I don't understand how that is brag worthy.

It would only be Socialism if the government forced you to do it. Otherwise, it is called charity.

Employers decide who will work of those that want to work for the compensation that the employer is willing to pay. They do not decide who will not work of those that do not want to work.

How would you decide who gets a pass on having to work?

What about bandwidth?

What about making a cord that has two "wires". One would be fiber optic to enable the fastest possible data transfers with the lowest interference. The other would be a traditional copper wire that powers the device.

You would also need enough hardware specifications to create/update drivers.

More transparency about the products we purchases is always a good thing.

Who do you think does the vacuuming! ;)

(5) Electricity is an innate requirement to use a traditional vacuum cleaner. For single-player video games, a always-on internet requirement is a artificial restriction that adds no value to the experience.

Can you have a Jersey Shore if obesity is the new norm?

If it has happened, which I highly doubt, the public deserves to know.

You can probably take out the material costs past the first battery. If this tech became common place you would probably get a "core" deduction for trading out batteries.
