  • Technology makes possibilities and not outcomes. The idea of a bipedal mechanical assistant that can carry , move and lift items for the elderly , on call 24/7 could be another possibility.

    It’s likely things would go as you say. Still there is a possibility that some other applications could come out of this kind of bipedal platform as well.

    Delivering mail is a complex task for a machine. This is a technology forum so at some point we should be excited that there are possibilities in the future.

    The distance these devices could go gives many more possibilities than a similar platform that can move shorter distances.

    My first thought for a platform that could move through human spaces at 13 miles an hour was a military robot for urban combat similar to a terminator. So mail delivery robot is the optimistic version of the future.






  • This is due to the demographic crunch. There are just fewer young people to go around.

    Less choices from smaller trade focused colleges like the one in the article will focus into larger city focused colleges.

    The article is talking about a farming specific school that was small and hands on. Some tasks can be learned in a trade school, but stuff like running a farm will be learned from family, or in places like this.

    So you’ll have to be born into it or be wealthy enough to go to a top tier school to run a farm. Now working on the farm would be a trade.
