I just think it's sad that there's so many people working so very hard to remove the benefits of one of the most amazing, futuristic inventions the human race has ever seen.

We've ended scarcity, and all people seem intent on doing is getting it back as fast as possible, just so nothing has to change in society.

"Look everyone, I've ended disease!"
"You criminal, think of all the poor doctors and insurance company executives you're making poorer! Quick, come up with some way of getting us back to the way things were!"

It's sad to think that we've got an opportunity for all of human knowledge to be shared with everyone for very low cost. This could be the opposite of the dark ages - the Light Ages.

But instead we have to worry about maintaining the status quo.
