lifestyling gadget earth

This object is rather beautiful. Realised topology. But somehow I can only envisage it as a sort of late 90s techno-pagan toy, a gadgetised Chinese lantern already heading downslope from the sublime to the banal after its fifteen minutes as an expensive Christmas present. & that’s before they crowdsource a way to use it to deliver surveillance. Which reminds me: this. Which is the most frightening: (a) little hummy birds ? (b) that this waffle was written by an adult ? (c) that we live in a world where the words “take-home pitch” have a meaning ? Oh, wow, Darpa will help us spy on everyone else from a distance! With little hummy birds! & bomb them in, what, can I believe this ?, a very short time! Wow, gosh, I have such a crush on the rocket scientist aspirational speaker.

One look at that pullover, and it’s no surprise “teledildonics” was a hot topic of conversation. “Taggart” as a fashion plate – you could have knocked me over with Marine le Pen.
Maybe I’ve come to the wrong place but…
I have a device that came without any manual and I can’t find the off switch. I didn’t even turn it on but it’s spewing out noise and light as if there were no tomorrow. A bunch of well meaning onlookers have all taken a look but I’m assuming too much. Perhaps they are not well meaning nor onlookers. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
They got rid of that bug in the new version. & wow, is it fast.
Is the link supposed to have a video? When I click it, I’m just seeing text.
It definitely has a New Scientist TV video, complete with pizza advert. I just watched it again.
I guess the problem was with Firefox (Chrome displayed it just fine). Thanks for the response!
A pleasure.
