Came to say pretty much the same. There is a huge shortage of seeing dogs worldwide because of the difficult task of training dogs AND making sure that they pass the final testing exams, such as making sure they never actually cross on a red light (dogs are colour blind) and kill their owner. Having tens of thousands of robot dogs syncing their experience would great a huge pool of learned behaviour and be a tremendous improvement in accessibility for a percentage of the population.

The problem is not that microbeads are a issue in themselves, but more like that thy are a great absorbent of other chemicals. So it makes it a lot easier for chemicals to neter the food chain since many animals would eat fish or drink water that's contaminated with microbeads. And these are chemicals that would otherwise either dissipate or disintegrate from the water treatment cycle or UV rays outside.

It,s a crappy exaggeration... let,s not innovate too much because someone might be left behind! I'm siding with the Google deployment on this one; they offer a better service for what seems quite a bit less money. This has more chance to bring the internet to poorer people than ever before (although only in towns for now, but it is only beginning).
