How many people that are looking forward to this technology are in the business or hobby that deals with digital circuits or robotic controls?
I was prototyping digital logic circuits with wire wrap by the late 70's and into analog devices even earlier. By the 80's I was using machine controlled motors to perform various physical functions. It seems that BenK and I have worked for a number of years with the technology presented, yet we are bigger opponents of these options than those from other fields. Is it possible that the less you know about the workings makes you more accepting?
I think it's more a difference between people who need to feel in "control" and those that don't. Most technology today is about giving up a sense of control to an inanimate system - GPS, parking assist, etc. I know for me, it takes a lot of convincing before I give up control - even now, I always look at a map BEFORE I launch the GPS.
