Yeah, if we can get rid of our racism, misogyny, ablism, various other isms, and fear of a society where wealth has some distribution, and do things like fully support a robust k-16 public education, and invest in our public infrastructure, and treat collective challenges like that instead of as politically divisive events… we might be okay… I agree that this kind of use of technology to actually improve people’s lives gives me hope, but only when they are readily available for all, rather than those who can afford to pay.

That’s cool and all but honestly I was more impressed with the fact that Drummer was able to cobble together a workable set of robotic exoskeleton legs with just the random parts that happened to be within reach of her bed. Quite the badass.
