It's not just the window size. Having spent time in cinder block rooms (college, not the Big House) I feel qualified to say "concrete is oppressive." Plus, I had to put up my posters with rolled up tape and they kept falling down. Re: options being good: McDonalds has them, too. You can get two cheeseburgers or a Big'n'Tasty. My distrust of the people who will end up controlling this technology overrides any "ain't it marvelous" feelings I might have for the new use for robotics. The Amish can raise a barn in a day, too. People need rewarding work. Bricklaying is used in some therapeutic regimens. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Etc Etc.
