FYI to the first comment, check your facts, Australia is the worlds lead producer and export, not the DRC.

Yes, clearly revolutionizing the speed and efficiency of human-computer interfaces is frivolous. It’s not like anyone uses computers for anything.

I’m not saying things shouldn’t be done about that coltan stuff you mentioned. But you’re not going to get many people on your side with your anti-progress argument.

This is good stuff. Although I think where this could go even faster is using those mind controllers that are used in gaming that send commands through thought.

This would be good for computer, however the cell adaptability seems minimal – EXCEPT for texting, navagation and games.

It also cuts down on parts costs, potentially.

Great – let’s contribute even more to the horrendous killings in the DRC who supply over 80% of the Coltan needed for our frivolous and irrelevant trinkets. Disgusting waste for nothing.
