Do not label yourself

So this genius richard thinks his technological competency rates as somewhat high.
i think he misread "tech level" as "percentage of braincells missing".

I don't know what is a harsher blow to the credibility of virtual customers, the fact that he can't judge scale based on widely known visual criteria (the usb port), or the accidental admission that he has absolutely no knowledge of chaining usb devices together (hence the term daisy-chaining).
Any person sprung from their mother's womb between 1950 and 1995 probably knows what a usb port looks like, and can readily identify one as such. This prodigy richard apparently suffered some sort of traumatic head injury between those years, or perhaps his mother was unaware of the effects of mixing pregnancy with glue huffing. In either case, richard here has decided to declare himself a full nerd, which is evidenced by his frequent shopping on newegg, even though he clearly does not understand the fundamentals of universal serial bus technology.
please do not think that i am raining insults down upon a helpless nerd. i found this review while shopping on newegg for a large capacity hard drive to install in my ps3. clearly, i would choose "complete nerd" if it were a choice.

but i do give him credit for not using "dick" as his username.

rejoice!
solar power costs are plummeting with each new innovation, wind technology is becoming more efficient, and ocean power is sounding like less and less like aquaman's fantasy. take the wind energy company flodesign for example.
with a little funding, ok well a generous buttload of funding, they can flesh out their prototype and initiate construction. i have to admit, it looks like the freakish bastard child of a jet engine and that mechanical shark thing from james & the giant peach, and the risk of migrating birds being sucked into turbines will increase thirteen-fold, but i'm sure these minor issues will be resolved in due time.
in the mean time, stew this over in your bubbling neck-mounted thought kettle:
in a few hundred years we went from dumping our shit out the window to electronic talking toilets that wipe our ass for us and thank us for stopping by. (a thin stream of water shot into my ass is not my idea of refreshing, but to each his/her own.)
in a hundred years we went from the homely model-t with a blood-thirsty top speed and laughable mileage to a land rocket powered only by some sunlight, gas, air and a daredevil driver of questionable mental stability. (commercially available sports cars are ridiculously powerful and have some very nice designs, but you'd get better fuel efficiency if you drank a gallon of ethanol and tried to run the nyc marathon)
in thirty years we went from room-sized, vacuum tube powered computing monstrosities to tiny handheld devices that have a better memory than we do. (what's your current longitude and lattitute? yea, i thought so.)
even with all our faults, we are clearly becoming smarter in some way, so let's make this happen. let nature power our toys. we can build a bunch of machines that harness the elements, and just sit back to enjoy the ride.
oh and one more thing.
i really hope i'm not around if flying cars are mass produced. people are oblivious, selfish jerks as it is, and we only drive in two dimensions. give the general public a third dimension, and say goodbye to the pedestrian. you might as well say goodbye to your life as well, because two weeks after you buy your first flying car, some douchebag is going to vertically t-bone you at 230 km/hr because he was trying to get his iphone 6g to sync with his gps mind-controlled steering wheel.
sigh.
