    It would take ten thousand years of work to make something that silly.
    And it did too.
    Sorry, but I am not terribly impressed. Sure, I would like to have something like that, if I could get it for ten dollars.
    Will that gizmo make the world of industrial design any easier?
    Did autocad make it any easier? Or simpler?
    Did computing create paperless offices?
    You can take a gizmo like that and use it to help teach 6 year old children, it looks like it might be okay for that.
    When I was six, in our classroom there was a big box full of 1/2" x 1/2" x L coloured sticks in graduations of 1/2". And it was no concidence that the colours are represented in the real world as base ten digits, from 0 to 9
    The children learned about numbers, addition and subtraction using those little pieces of coloured wood. The children could also gather around the big box of the things and build enormous and complex structures and knock them down with glee.
    And it didn't take a fucking rocket scientist to develope that cool idea, it was a great idea, but easy, very easy to produce, in little shops anywaher, even Biafra and Namibia.
    Mankind could really use more simple answers to complex problems than complex answers to simple problems.

    Funny, I haven't seen those little blocks of wood since I left grade 1. I wonder if they are still used in schools anywhere? There were cool and fun. They made learning fun, or at least less dreadful. They were a toy as well as a tool.
    Oh, and did I mention, they were also simple?
    Those little

    That reminds me of that anecdote of NASA spending couple hundreds dollars on ballpen that would work at 0 gravity. Russians took pencils into space.

    lol guys dont be so negative
    its just a tool..
    and its not that hard nor expensive to create once you have the stuff they have

    and answering your questions biles, yes - autocad, and stuff like this, really does make the difference
    and have you ever had to find a patients file in papers archive? i mean, really big archive
    nah, sorry for talkin bout obvious things once again, couldnt let it go ;p

    complicated things not always are worse

    A big archive is a complex problem that can be searched in a series of steps. The steps are simple. The volume is the problem. The steps must be repeated over and over again without error. Only robots can do that simple task endlessly without going nuts.
    The problem of searching huge databases is perfect for computers.
    Funny, we had all the logic figured out hundreds of years ago but didn't get the machines that could endlessly repeat the steps until fairly recently.
    Possibly concurrent those huge databases....

    ok and autocad?
    ever had to draw by hand cross-section of a block, or some engine part?
    in different places? from different directions?


    its like driving a car
    gotta learn how to drive, fill it up, keep an eye on the technical condition, drive carefully
    and you could just walk instead
    ppl been walkin for thousand years and lived right?

    well, you might think different when your father gets heart attack and you call an ambulance
    or call girlfriend hundred miles away

    sure, new 'tools' cause new problems
    and to deal with new problems you need new 'tools'
    i guess thats the evolution.. dont ask me for its meaning or sense

    this particular tool makes easier things that are already easy enough and if they require any use of imagination and abstractive thinking, then that's what they are meant for as educational accesories. This board is just another little step to make future's children even more retarded.
    This is just as dumb as electrically opening car doors - like that was some fucking big problem to reach for a knob and open them with your hand; what's going to be next, a machinery to suck a shit out of your butt so you don't get tired pushing?

    talkin about imagination?
    cant you think of some cool and fun ways of using such whiteboard to teach kids, for example?
    honestly, how many kids were enjoyin that kinda stuff when had to count such things at classes?
    and how do you know what could be created on that? or inspired by that?

    sure it aint neccessary, sure there are another ways, whatever

    I still cannot write while upside down. hell of a lot of good that pen technology was.
    Did the russians ever license their spacetoilet technology? How much time, effort and money went into that?
    USA used diapers.
