Technology!

Post by R56WUF » Tue Apr 21, 2015 4:10 pm

Over in Norway at the moment and a couple of firsts for me;

First drive of a hybrid car. Its only a Toyota Yaris but its actually really enjoyable/novel/weird to drive. Love the number of Teslas over here too. Genuinely interested in one of those in the future. Beautiful car.

Also, saw a 3D metal printer today. WOW! Absolutely blew my mind especially seeing the level of detail one finished products. I feel like a caveman seeing fire for the first time today. Genuinely incredible stuff.

Makes me wonder what my two year old will consider normal when he is older and what other mind boggling technology he will live to see.
