I don't know about the US, but where I live speed camera are relatively large bright colored boxes with reflective stripes on the side of the road, with mandatory "speed camera ahead" warnings.

Most of them are empty but people unfamliar with the place will usually slow down.

Yeah, until a few years ago when they started doing things like

- Automatically upgrading devices to Win10

- Announce that they will keep adding upgrades to win10 instead of creating new releases

- Office 365

- Require win10 to develop for windows phone 10

and important software companies like adobe/autodesk moving to subscription model isn't gonna help.

Hmm, reducing the need for long lasting and easily recyclable paper by replacing it with mostly-plastic stuff (including packaging) that becomes obsolete in less than a decade?

I've seen a drone scanning over a large corn field, dropping sensors seems silly when you can outfit infrared tempature sensors/humidity sensors/etc on a drone.

And 10 years later everyone will be using glasses to correct the "looking at an 8K postage-stamp sized display" syndrome.

Not possible without some magic holographic technology.
