Scientists have worked wonders in improving our standard of living at home. Our homes are generally very comfortable here in the Western world. But we usually can't spend all of our time there. We have to go to work and pay for it all. I'm not putting these great minds down. I think they might simply be distracted with other ideas. But I saw something on Star Trek one time that I was hoping someone would have invented by now. It's a device for lifting heavy weights called an anti-grav. This thing is far superior to a forklift. It's portable. You can take it up a staircase. You can attach it with a magnet to any heavy object and it makes it light as a feather. I know that, from a scientists's point of view, within laboratories filled by test tubes and computers, we are living in a wondrous, technological age. But I'm almost certain they weren't participating when all the heavy stuff was being brought in by labourers whose view of the modern age might not differ much from a scientists's view of ancient Rome. With anti-gravs, accidents would be reduced. Like when you are clutching the plastic wrapping of an industrial fridge from the top and trying to pull it toward you. Your hand slips and you punch your nose very hard. And it starts to bleed, so you have to tilt your head back to finish the job, and then you can't see your feet to tell you to stop walking backwards before you go tumbling off a third floor balcony, with the fridge not falling fast enough - as Galileo proved - to land below or beside you, rather than on top of you. The problem's never going to be solved as long as everyone keeps making the other guy move the washing machine up the stairs for them. If these scientists had to do it for themselves, we'd probably have some results out of them by now in this area.
