Not to mention, not as effective, either. It's the same with the food pill thing. Meals took <I>hours</I> to produce, so why not eliminate that chore with pills? Advances in apliances made the latter unnecessary, and eco-awareness made the former a bitter food pill to swallow.Jack Generichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17184068193999197490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-22176185813427194612008-01-21T14:47:00.000-05:002008-01-21T14:47:00.000-05:002008-01-21T14:47:00.000-05:00He got the electronic oven part right, oddly enough.<BR/><BR/>I'd personally welcome a greater use of glass. It's easily recyclable, and easier to keep clean than plastic.

If we can throw stuff away after one use, then we're not using up water to wash them, or polluting the water source with soaps.<BR/><BR/>That, and I think they figured it would appeal to housewives: no more washing the dishes or doing laundry in the future!Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15017088126061040113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-24936240735895090852008-01-19T13:16:00.000-05:002008-01-19T13:16:00.000-05:002008-01-19T13:16:00.000-05:00In the dystopian novel <I>We</I> by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the buildings were all made of glass—a very uncomfortable notion.Britthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423314905629150881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-49163360866526565972008-01-18T12:53:00.000-05:002008-01-18T12:53:00.000-05:002008-01-18T12:53:00.000-05:00Not all glass is transparent.
