I don't expect my own contribution to be significant, but as long as I crank those widgets and call those Freds I'm doing something.
Your list reads like it was taken from all the great science fiction I read growing up. Science fiction helped lead me into science, where I learned that many of these things aren't going to happen. Alas. But good luck with the widget-cranking and Fred-calling.
