Response to "Bomb Proof Trash Cans"

www.core77.com

"The new bin is designed to absorb the heat of explosives and prevent the spread of shrapnel using "blast intelligent technology".
And in its new guise the bin will not only protect and collect, it will also keep passers-by up to date. Each will be fitted with the latest electronic technology, providing a stream of news and travel information on LCD screens."

This idea to me seemed a little streched with i started reading it, because it is something so minute and its such a big design for something so small. While the idea is great, i think that technology might be heading toward "out of hand" with this idea. If you told someone twenty years ago that we would have bomb-proof electronic garbage cans...they would have called the nearest mental facility to see if they were searching for an escapee.
