[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1492635, member: 14403"] My (hopefully) last statement on Clarke's law is this... I think everyone reads too much into it. Technology can/will get to a point where people don't wan't/care to understand it yet they will still use it. I saw this every day back when I was a simple computer technician in the Air Force. I'd go to people's offices every day to fix their computer problems and in almost every case they didn't want to know how I had fixed it, only that it was fixed and they could get back to work. This is a central theme in many Cyberpunk games where the average person is happy to use a device though they have no idea how it works. It might as well be magic... they don't really care what it is so long as it works. Some would say we are already at that point. I think as Nanotechnology gets more researched we'll see even more of that feeling. My fave settings for Sci-Fi would be Firefly and if someone would do a d20 Mechwarrior/Battletech and a d20 Dune RPG. [/QUOTE]
