Whether big or small. We all have that one thing from Scifi we wished were real. I’d love to see a cool underground city with like a SkyDome or a space hotel for instance.

    That’s really cool, thanks. I always wondered what such a contraption would look like. Too bad it didn’t make it to market.

    The real sci-fi dream is to have a machine that can take a bin of totally unsorted laundry (everything from socks to bedsheets), then wash, dry, and fold it all into a basket. I don’t know if that could be done without some very human-like arms and better AI than we have today.

      for complex tasks like laundry I wonder if material recycling and on-demand manufacturing will advance far enough first that we end up “3d printing” (or Star Trek replicating) clothes and then just tossing dirty ones into a material recycling system, well before we have the tech to make a robot wash them haha
