For those who took the bait, I'm thinking they're missing something. For what it is worth, I've met quite a few young people who credit their interest in studying medicine and biology to shows like CSI (which I personally loathe).
Anyone have an anecdote of young BBT fans being drawn to physics or math?
Sure, it's a comedy, but it's not like there's a watchable Star Trek turning a new generation towards STEM. Mr. Robot, probably just breeding more anarchists.
It’s nice technology but not really the answer to anything. For one, great tablets are already possible without that technology, it would merely be an incremental improvement. You don’t need a Mirasol display in the living room or the kitchen (except insofar as power savings are concerned). And: one technology doesn’t make the product. Especially tablets can only be great if the right technologies are combined in the right way. There are no miracle cures.
