There are days when I think, there is nothing new under the sun. I mean come on, everything has been done before. And just about the time I think that someone does something original. Take the pancake printer. https://youtu.be/hHmfQMr8l_g Now you don’t have to eat boring round pancakes which are functional, no, now you can have a rocketship shaped pancake. I get it, this is something fun, most of your homes are not running out to buy one. My wonder is, with all the big issues out there that need fixing, clean water, starvation, housing, why pancake printing gets solved and these others go on. Engineers have the capacity to change the world and design life changing things, like the group at Letourneau university who have designed a prosthetic limb that can be made for a few dollars and are teaching people in Africa to make them locally. Instead, we get the pancake printer which solves the age old problem of not being able to entertain yourself with your breakfast. We have to make a choice, are we are going to make the world a better place or just amuse ourselves to death.
