If paired with GPS it could create the 3D map of the world.

No need to use a "street view" car anymore.

It could be a lifesaving device for cyclists, for working women, for children, etc.

If photos are recorded and uploaded to the server every 2-3 seconds, an attacker would think twice before approaching his victim.

Yes, I've made a calculation error in pounds. I am from a metric region.

By the way, that is how at least one aircraft and one spacecraft were lost. One has to remember how many pounds in kilogram and how many feet in meter.

A house of 10000 square feet (1000 square meters) for a couple, a car of 12000 pounds (3000 kg) are unsustainable. Not matter what sort of energy is being used.

The catastrophe in Japan was caused by excessive energy usage on geological scale, the same as no less catastrophic New York and New Jersey flooding last November.

Japan could just change business dress code, and they would not need these additional power stations. Instead of heavy business suites and long sleeve white shirts, which require immense amounts of energy for air-conditioning of offices, transportation inside air-conditioned motorized vehicles, daily dry cleaning, they could introduce compulsory classic style shorts and short sleeve shirts. That's it. Problem solved.

But the social change is the most difficult. It is easier to build new nuclear or coal power stations, cause new climate catastrophes, spoil the land completely, than to change people's attitudes.

But how is it humanly possible to enforce ban on drones as small as these:

It could be an equivalent of a car dashboard camera but for cycling. Cyclists wear glasses anyway to prevent mosquitoes getting into the eyes.

Permanent recording could be a safety feature for cyclists. It would make road hooligans less enthusiastic as an HD video of an accident could be played later in a judicial assembly.

I use "OSMpad" on "iPhone" for mapping for the wiki-style "OpenStreetMap". So it is a precise GPS enabled data input tool. How can I do in with glasses?

If I can, I do not mind. Because every time I have to stop bicycle, take out iPhone, map a building or another structure, put back smartphone into the pocket, and so on.

In many cities and suburbs drying clothing and linen outdoors is forbidden due to esthetics. Instead the electric driers are used, which convert water is vapor first and then condensing vapor on a refrigerated greed. It takes a lot of energy as the physical state of water changes twice: liquid into gas, and then again gas (vapor) into liquid.

The problem of esthetics could be solved by designing an esthetically acceptable outdoors drier. It means 7 billion people could daily dry clothing and linen outside freely.

But drying outdoors is also sort of a "poverty symbol". So the problem of wind power usage has got rather social and design character.

And the wind power (and sun power) are unlimited, at least for drying. Just no limit at all. It even cools environment on hot days.

If there are couple of more floodings like in NYC recently, there will be no offices left. The world will probably sink into the New Middle Ages.

Working at least sometimes by telecommuting we reduce emissions during commuting.

It is much easier to move electrons around a city than protons. We are just to learn to move electrons efficiently.

would be if they start to place large pieces of mirrors on roofs or on hill slopes. Normally it is forbidden by civil aviation authorities as mirrors blind pilots. It would blind cameras too.

Besides, it will make the satellite imagery unusable for an area.

If placing of mirrors on roofs will become sort of a mass civil defense measure, flying would become more dangerous for everyone.

Mapping tools for mobile devices. Like "OSMPad", but better, if it possible at all.

Why not invest into research on more resilient buildings in the first place? It is not only meteors, but also hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes.

Say, include into the glass sort of nylon net by regulations and forget about millions of broken glass injuries every year.

The same about walls. If falling stones hurt people regularly, by scores, perhaps, more graceful disintegration could be engineered as part of the original building design. But not pretend that a building is to stand forever.

a resume has to impress an imbecile in an HR. Often a corrupted imbecile with a hidden agenda (allegedly) .

That is why we have got a global economical crisis. HR is to be rethought and revamped from the ground up.
