Most Wanted

Things most wanted by Big Dumb Object this week (the optimistic future technology edition):

  • GM wheat that doesn’t fail, can be grown throughout the year in any climate and is suitable for micro-farming.
  • Bread maker mills. Pour in heads of wheat, out comes bread.
  • Micro-reservoirs to purify rainwater for drinking and filter into household water systems.
  • Ultra-efficient solar panels that are cheap to make.
  • Air source heat pumps for all.
  • Open source self-replicating 3D printers for producing the parts for all the open source technology that can change our lives.
