I know some people will point to any of several things as proof of the coming apocalypse: Ron Paul, hyperlinking, Habeas Corpus, the MPAA/RIAA, et al.
But after being enlightened to the existence of this little gadget, the Meraki, I (perhaps unrealistically) have some restored faith in the world (in at least providing communication/knowledge to those that deserve it--i.e. everyone).
This little device, coupled with our future-savior/overlord providing the masses with an open, efficient and inexpensive phone/interweb device, could very well begin creating a real-life demo of Bruce Sterling's Maneki Neko--minus all that creepy stuff at the end.
