#5I see the point of that dishwasher for someone who doesn't have easy access to a sink like a student in a dorm, but I can't fathom why you'd put one in a house or apartment. With such a tiny capacity you're better off hand washing.

That quote (and the work it is taken from) is becoming more relevant by the day. I am very pessimistic about the future and I don't believe that we can fight against the enormous power that technology gives to those that can use it on a massive scale.
I just hope that the eventual dictator will be a "soft-hearted leftist" and decide to turn the world into a huge human zoo, instead of some sadistic overlord that will turn the world into a huge human cage.

I personally quite enjoy many of the things that the industrial revolution has brought us, such as cheap and ubiquitous electricity, food safety, the internet and even cheap countertop dishwashing machines. Detergent DRM is a bit much though.
