The sad thing... (Score 1)

...about technology like this (and for that matter, most technology in general) is that discussion of its merrit and worth is almost pointless. If someone thinks it's a good idea, there's almost no stopping it's development, for good or for ill. At least that's they way technology seems to work - does someone want it? If yes, then it's built. Doesn't matter if it was a stupid idea to do it or not.
