When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

    But today supra conductor aren’t something just for the rich. It’s used for some specific application like MRI which benefit to the people needing them rather than the rich.

      Good luck finding an MRI machine in countries like burkina farso. If you live in the west, you are rich, dawg.

          Why on earth would you want an MRI machine at home? They are huge, the noise they make is untollerable, you cant have any metal objects nearby lest they turn into projectiles and you need to be an MD to use it.

            If you get enough of them and line them up correctly, you can make a giant gauss rifle. That would be fun, no?

            If the room temperature superconductor is finally a reality, it’ll become possible to own an MRI device at your home because they’ll be smaller and cheaper, just like how some tech enthusiast have x-ray scanner at their home right now. Not saying it’s practical, but at least it’ll become possible for an individual to purchase it.
