We basically have a lot of highly advanced technologies already. I don't think it'll be long until our lives look like Star Trek.

This disappoints me so much because it's just a toy, when we have the technology to make a scanning device that is basically a real one (not as magically good, though). I've seen phone addons for scientific research that can scan things for various things. Like a glucose monitor, Geiger counter, barometer, light sensor, blood pressure monitor, and more; with no reason why a single device couldn't have all of these things in one other than maybe cost.

I mean, cool.

It's just that my early 21st century cellphone has more sensors than this 24th century device... 💁‍♂️

And your cellphone even costs less. (unless you've bought a flagship phone)

Still doesn't do medical scans

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would we have the technical know-how for that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

When you come wake me up when we have it? Yes.
