We could build homes that stand up to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and other disasters. We could build cars that are lighter and more fuel-efficient. Like the opening for the old TV show, “The Six Million Dollar Man,” we have the technology. So why don’t we use it? The reason is that people who build homes, cars, and other things would need to be retrained — but the result would be a more sustainable and safer world.
I will not waste time addressing the obvious factual errors, omissions, and tendentious bias in this advertisement as they are painfully obvious to anyone in the construction industry. Is he pumping the stocks of Arris and Blu Homes? Does the author own Technewsworld? How else could this folderol get published in a medium that elsewhere offers so much of value and insight? This bunkum should not be allowed to defame insightful disquisitions such as those offered by authors such as Mr. Terrasi. There is quite enought fetid pedantry in the political discourse without suffering it in a forum that so often offers trenchant discernment of important technological issues.
