So I have been watching these "future technology" documentaries, and unlike previous things I've bought up on here, I really feel this one will bring up some healthy discussion without any snapping at each other.

this first one is about "future trains" various concepts and some that have gone into prototype stage and some even in use today, clean energy, cost effective methods of transport, the ability to move millions of people per hour at low cost, high efficiency and in the case of some, the ability to power themselves, I know that many of these concepts are pipe-dreams at best and many places on earth would never approve the costs and time it would take to implement it (time and money, the two things that really change the world and no-one wants to use it for good) but what are your thoughts?
and the second video here.

now we're into the meat of future technologies, weapons! what do you think of these? do you think they will only lead to death and destruction? or do you think the technology used in them will lead to civilian applications like the microwave and the internet before them?
I would love to see some discussion on what you think these breakthroughs, concepts and the such could mean for humanity... or if they'd even be permitted by the governing bodies that decide the implementation of such things?
