Take note: It took a nuclear world war plus meeting Vulcans to get world peace in the Star Trek universe.

We are inching ever so closer to the first and a long way from the latter if you know what I mean. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduct the first outcome just by looking at the world right now.

Anyhow, this is pretty impressive tech. First 3D displays, tomorrow Holodeck. First 3D printers, tomorrow inorganic replicators. First food printers, tomorrow organic replicators.

Sadly, the way we are currently, such tech would only be for the rich and the who-can-afford-it types.]]>Jan 21st 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/the-cornucopia-mits-3d-food-printer-patiently-awaits-the-futu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/the-cornucopia-mits-3d-food-printer-patiently-awaits-the-futu/

"whiz kids" make a simplistic general 3d model of a never to be created imitation of a TNG replicator dreamt up 10 years ago and get amazing media attention. Interesting.

Science fiction is nice, but only when there is equal part science to fiction. No tech specs, no real hard concept data... Just fiction.

These people are whizzes... at marketing :)

He told the Cornucopia about India, he told it about China, he told it about Ceylon. He told it about broad leaves drying in the sun. He told it about silver teapots. He told it about summer afternoons on the lawn. He told it about putting in the milk before the tea so it wouldn't get scalded. He even told it (briefly) about the history of the East India Company.

"So that's it, is it?" said the Cornucopia when he had finished.

"Yes," said Arthur, "that is what I want."

"You want the taste of dried leaves in boiled water?"

"Er, yes. With milk."

"Squirted out of a cow?"
