I'll love you forever if you can invent a printer that isn't a tremendous piece of shit

Someone needs to fucking figure out vertical agriculture.
That person needs to be you.
You're first job is to figure out how to more efficiently capture incoming PAR/area and distribute it among the various layers of the 'farm'.
This, in the end, will cut transportation costs and reduce agricultural sprawl if implemented within city limits as well as probably have a cooling effect in same way the 'green roofs' do (also a viable topic).

General innovation thread?

I'm reading a lot of experts comment on the future of GPS technology. Have we really made the most out of the stuff?

What's wrong with laser printers? They are reliable and the toner cartridges last forever. If you instead bought a super cheap inkjet of course it's going to suck.

Speaking of printers, I heard that they have a new 3D printer that can print internal organs using cell cultures made from the cells collected from a patient, similarly to how 2D printers use ink. If most 2D printers today are still pieces of shit after decades of development, I fear for the recipients of these printout organs.

Nothings wrong with them. They're just hella expensive, and not sold at Walmart haha

Quit being a capitalist pig and spend the money developing utilitarian technology.

Also to sound like a geniuos come up with a way to do something with something that doesn't normally do that thing. IE: Cure cancer with computers. Improve computers with cancer....

So really what you want is a printer that isn't a tremendous piece of shit - for $50. Good luck with that.

I remember a few years ago my bio teacher saying we would have 3D "Printers" that would make shopping at department stores obsolete by 2010.

It's not just the hardware, it's also all the stupid driver/software bullshit that comes with it. I've had to use hijackthis! to delete the print que in the spool folder because it refused to print anything in que. Just all around hundreds of stupid bullshit problems
