VAGABOND post class 2/9 [& response to K.Krig]

First of all, I would like to start with a response to King Kriggle's post.

I think you did a great connection with The Matrix, I certainly see the connection now. I also see what you are saying with the "natural flavors" and he "artificial flavors." While I think we are still far from never being able to eat grapes or watermelon, it is still rather traumatizing to think of how somewhere down the road, no one would be able to understand the authentic from the replica.

I remember eating those popsicles that look like a slice of watermelon but taste like nothing but pure sugary awesomeness. True that there is a hint of watermelon but nothing like the real thing.

To be honest, I have no idea of what the future entails. But there's instant everything - ramen noodles for example. A student who graduated from my high school went off to MIT and figured out a way to dehydrate vegetables but is able to recover the essence of the carrot and lettuce and green onions in the process of adding hot water. Amazing, really.
