Tesla and SpaceX are certainly cutting edge but are all but completed and realized. I suppose I am more curious about some of the things we will see in the coming decades, as the human race confronts the new problem of a resource depleted world. Something like VRChat (not sure if you are familiar with this, would love to see you do a video on it) seems to show the foundation of a second lived experience within a virtual reality world, not unlike Second Life or the many social networks people use. People love to get sucked into Facebook for hours on end. It only makes sense that people whose life on Earth is antisocial and limited might escape to an online utopia, where they can change the way they look and behave and interact with people thousands of miles away. Think the recent movie Ready Player One or, at the worst, something like the Matrix. I believe, in the next hundred years, there will be a different option for the fortunate among us to live in, whether on another planet, a space station, or within the internet, instead of a polluted Earth. Sounds like science fiction but so did cell phones and cloning and both exist now! Would you upload your consciousness into a computer program? Would you live on a planet light years away? I'll attach some articles on the topic, hope to get a response! www.businessinsider.com/vrchat-explained-2018-2www.livescience.com/37499-immortality-by-2045-conference.htmlphys.org/news/2017-03-future-space-colonization-terraforming-habitats.htmlnymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-too-hot-for-humans.html

Hey Tim, technology is changing faster than ever before and I am curious where you think things will be going in the coming years. It won't be like the Jetsons LOL but I am curious if you see potential in virtual reality, augmented reality, neuroreality, space colonization, and avoiding the potential manmade catastrophe that will end the human race on Planet Earth. Having such a long history in tech, you have seen many things come and go, and I am curious if you have any interest in keeping your thoughts and feelings (or at least, a copy of your mortal soul) in a technoreality. More possible than every before!

Sorry about that, Tim! There are certainly some points in there I agree with, like bringing a focus on sustainable energy and rebuilding jobs in America. I have concerns not only about Americans regaining jobs but also the exploitation of labor in foreign countries by the powerful companies who seem to only care about serving themselves, not the hardworking consumer. They should be taxed fairly based on their massive revenues, and that money used responsibly to build up the job market. Pittsburgh is a great example of a city built on hard work in labor which has fallen to corruption (UPMC) and gentrification. I hate it! I have to disagree about your staunch immigration stance, but agree it is unfair for folks to be living in the country and not paying the taxes which maintain the cities and institutions while others are forced to. I am an advocate for a diverse culture within the USA, and hope violence can end in favor of some compromise. I am concerned about the brushing aside of funds for women's health, public television, and art grants, but hope the system of checks and balances within the government will find fair ways to serve the needs of all. I appreciate the long response and respect your clearly well thought out views even if I do not fully agree, and hope you can use it for future Online Video entries!

Hey Tim, what are your thoughts on federal spending? Trump is looking to cut funds to women's health programs and arts programs, but where do you feel the money is best spent? A new health plan? Military? Rebuilding the Midwest's employment infrastructure? Space? Mars? Robotics? None of the above? Directly into his pocket? Curious about your view!
