I want to throw a bunch of micro-robots on the top of my head and let them cut my hair exactly the way I want. I don't want to brush my teeth at night: I just put a bunch of micro-robots, let them to their job and spit them out at the end. Cutting my nails? Micro-robots can do that. Showering? A thing of the past; micro-robots will keep me clean 24/7. Like, can you imagine the humans of the year 2200 doing all these little things by themselves?

It just seems to be so unreal that we are so excited about AR/VR, but we can't even make technology that gets us a decent haircut.

There's a lot of documentaries about how damn hard it is to animate hair. It seems like one of those things that's incredibly complex, but we take for granted because it's everywhere.

But if you look back 200 years ago, things like ice and communication aren't nearly as available as they are now. The micro-robots thing isn't so insane. 2 years ago, I thought robot vacuums were ridiculous, now most of my middle class friends have one.
