"I personally think a lot of stuff like that is being held back purely due to economic reasons IE the water engine possible in theory so probably built in practice along with many more far fetched inventions A mate of mines dad a professor worked on a way of transmitting electricity without wires his team succeeded but can you imagine how many jobs would be lost through it?? And so rightly it was shelved there must be hundreds of similar examples like this But i do question strongly the holding back of medical cures for the economic reasons xx " we believe that if men have the talent to invent machines that put men out of work,they have the talent to put those men back to work. j f kennedy | |||

" we believe that if men have the talent to invent machines that put men out of work,they have the talent to put those men back to work. j f kennedy" on a cross-thread related topic: the thread with the arguement against self service tills, this is where the arguement falls down. someone has to make the machines. employment issue solved. ok, back on topic now people | |||

"its heartening to see alot of clued up people on this thread, I always get a alot of negative feeedback when I post about this stuff on other forums, guess open mindedness comes with the swingers territory I think it's something like only 17% of the money in cancer charities actually goes on 'research'. the rest goes on the actual running of the bureaucracy " oh my god,thats scary. | |||

"big companies will always bury new ideas that threaten them, the oil companies are the worst. money talks, its a sad fact, who knows what life would be like now if people were allowed to develop new ideas" Who knows what it would be like if people weren't allowed to develop new ideas. | |||

"Random thought: Computers... any idea how many 100's of 1000's of jobs have been made redundant because of computers. We are all using one though. " but how many jobs have been created due to computers? it's an equatable thing. you can't say one thing without looking at the reverse. that's like arguing your point and then saying you're right before you hear the other side to it. it's called propaghanda | |||

Sure there are jobs in ITC, someone has to tell the thing what to do and how to do it. BUT... many of those jobs can be done by someone anywhere in the world. Prior to the computer age: - Every bank, council, large company (you name it) had pools of typists. - There were printing press companies all over the UK, less than 10% remain. - Photographic film manufacturing, processing and printing, all declined in large numbers. - Manufacturing, just look at the car industry for one example. Modernisation has come to mean replacing a person with a chip. Self-scanning at a supermarket checkout is the least of our worries. | |||

"the biggest worry is people saying 'won't do that for that wage'. stuff still needs to be built. problem is, people will get it done as cheap as they can, and with this nation of people who want the best wage they can get but the lowest priced goods they can, work will go elsewhere or foreign employment will be brought into the country." You mean like it has done for the last Twenty years?..... | |||

"funnily enough was doin some research earlier about my area and what happened to the textile workforce when it all closed . most of the workforce who were predominantely female, went into the care sector which coincided with the closing of the institutions and the introduction of the community care act xx" There ya go. A perfect example. Jobs are lost but then they are created too. I believe that a specific industry closing in a particular area sometimes prompts businesses and/or governments to invest in that area and create jobs where they didn't exist before. I tend to think of humanity as a swarm of ants scurrying about the globe day to day doing things that seem to bear no relation to another ant doing something on the other side of the world, yet both are working toward the betterment of the hive. And those that seek to destroy rather than create soon come up against an immovable force that is us as a collective, who stop them. It's all linked somehow, somewhere. | |||
