    It'll be interesting to see how foreign policies shift over the next 20 years as the developed world phases out fossil fuels. The key resources will probably become tech, and intelligent, high skill workers.
    No it’ll just shift to precious metal resource acquisition and already has. The things needed to manufacture tech. There only so many smart people they need. They need material and cheap labor. IT people aren’t any more intelligent than a mechanic or repairman. They just need to know how to fix shit. Nothings going to really change, it’s just a shift to another industry.

    You have a point, but that shits already going on, so its not going to exactly replace the energy industry. The energy shift is still going to make a big difference to how countries work with or against each other. Having the edge on tech will be high on the agenda, IT people are obviously not the professionals I was talking about.

    Theres all kinds of concepts and developments going on in computing, you might not even need the same materials in 20 years.

    If that means voting for Obama twice, then becoming a right-winger because some blue-haired white girl offended me and moving to Ohio with the rednecks, then nah

    Yea well engineers will just be trained in something relevant. But you’re still going to need the repairman. This change has already occurred I don’t even know what we’re arguing.

    When they make electric cars more affordable and as accessible as gas cars, people will buy them. But the technology has to be there because the gas car is perfected. They get better mileage, the work in extreme cold, extreme heat.

    It’d be stupid to phase them out just for the sake of phasing them out. Same with fossil fuels as energy. You want as much diversity in tech and energy as yiu can get.

    Besides the pissing contest you and goldenchild are having... I was under the impression this was a discussion not an argument.

    ^^ The idea of phasing old tech out is (at least in part) to be somewhat less environmentally destructive.

    Another shift is AI replacing human workers, but I think thats for another thread.

    Dooch is a fragile male, so he just resorts to the sexism. Tell me you're a sadist, without telling me you're a sadist.
