End of the smashed phone screen? Self-healing glass discovered by accident
End of the smashed phone screen? Self-healing glass discovered by accident New type of polymer glass that can mend itself when pressed together is in development by University of Tokyo after a student discovered it Japanese researchers say they have developed a new type of glass that can heal itself from cracks and breaks. Glass made from a low weight polymer called “polyether-thioureas” can heal breaks when pressed together by hand without the need for high heat to melt the material. https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...rsity-of-tokyo |

Whoa! $1850 for two phones? I didn't know they cost that much. Quite a lot to pay for the planned obsolescence the manufacturers engineer into those things.

And of course way too expensive for a phone, due to all the kitschy addictive things they can do. My I-Phone was less than $200 and that's the most I've ever paid for a phone. When it goes obsolete I'll just get another reasonably good phone in that same range or lower. We've created a culture where our employers can have us on a string, they can call day or night and anywhere you are, and that limits privacy. Used to be that people only checked for phone messages a few times a day. When they were out in the world, they were in the present moment. Now they is phone zombies. Even I, to a degree, am guilty of phone zombie-ism. Changes in levels of neurotransmitters (in adolescents especially) is really interesting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432415/ When they get off phones altogether their brains return to normal, but prior, the same areas light up as you see in a drug addict on MRIs. It took a while to start observing these changes in people, as opposed to when the technology was new. Takes time for a whole society to change, the same way as an individual changes over time. Both are observable, but not perhaps to a super young person in their early teens who has lived their whole lives with this technology. They don't remember the 'before'.

Damn, and people called me a tech fag for spending $1400 on PC parts. The thing is, I only do that once every 5 years, with 1 upgrade in between.
