We need to start evolving our education systems and institutions. Big time.
Otherwise we are just going to become sheep to a tiny fraction of the world's technology master-mogols.
Srsly.
In another 100 years those with tech will be able to totally control the tech-less.

I don't think most of the "classic" sci fi we look to for cautionary parables on the subject capture the depth of depravity that could come from this stuff.

We could totally control squirrels, but why would we want to?
In 100 years we will have advancements in technology as well as genetic engineering. Those who keep up will work/trade/play with other people who keep up. Those who do not keep up won't be dominated or controlled. They will merely be left behind as irrelevant.

We consider grass irrelevant. Right up until we decide we want to put a garden there instead and plow it under.
That's about how it'll be. People without tech will be as irrelevant and impotent as blades of grass. And just as disrespected.

It's funny how much modern technology resembles magic of old myths and not so old fantasy. Complete with "power" (battery charge), magic fields and magic places like ley lines (wifi, 3G etc.), magical items (smart phones). And every day it gets closer and closer. Eventually only a small and educated group of people will be able to master the more powerful ones, guarding their secret knowledge. Will we call them wizards?

If they're selling it for peanuts you should buy a bunch, get rich, and then you can give away as much free stuff as you want.

if it was for sale to the general public, im sure he would.
since it was discovered with public funds, it should already belong to the public
