Wealth and posessions would become meaningless, as you can have anything and everything. It would be perfectly acceptable to simply not work, and enjoy life.

However those who chose to work, in government jobs (military, law enforcement, doctors, nurses etc), space exploration and research and development (for new technology to replicate) would probably gain huge social status and be highly respected.

If population become an issue, food obviously wouldn't, but land might. Those who voltuneer to serve in the military etc may be granted land and/or the right to have children.

Star Trek society, what would happen if we got replicators?

You guys are forgetting a big part of life with replicators...

wrathpuppet February 14, 2012 06:28AM

You're forgetting one big thing.

vortexmagus February 15, 2012 06:41AM

Worry not, SOPA and PIPA will protect the original goods and stop replicators from copying them. (n/t)

It'd be withheld by the people with the biggest guns and metered out in exchange for servitude. n/t

It sickens me, but this is how medicine is delt with today.

It's called capitalism. Do you think this medicine just falls out of the sky?

Java February 14, 2012 05:58AM

I hope we will have outgrown capitalism sometime in the far future.

It'll happen once we get rid of the blacks. NT

White people should always be at war with the Nexus

I got a feeling they create artificial shortage to push prices up.

Cerunnir(VIP) February 15, 2012 12:02AM

Umm.. so you think they just enjoy watching people die?

Java February 15, 2012 12:21AM

The top dogs in the firms certainly care more about the bottom line and the size of their wallet than how many people they saved in the last year. nt

Cerunnir(VIP) February 15, 2012 01:14AM

And remember that part when you said they'd make the same amount by serving more?

Java February 15, 2012 01:19AM

I agree thats its the best solution for todays society. I just dont belive its the final solution, nor the best one.

Cerunnir(VIP) February 15, 2012 02:27AM

But grandma needs her pills! I don't care about logic! (n/t)

Artificial February 14, 2012 09:27AM

Quas February 14, 2012 05:52AM

This is pretty much how everything is handled, albeit packaged nicer. n/t

Actually the theory behind replication is sound science wise.

Cerunnir(VIP) February 10, 2012 05:01AM

True.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul February 10, 2012 10:51AM

So much in your post makes my soul burn.

satchmo February 10, 2012 04:20PM

I'd never leave my house. (n/t)

If we had holodecks? Yeah, they'd find me starved to death in there eventually
