Talking grass could be the last straw
A story that is of major concern to all working in the agricultural field. It seems a group of scientists working in Italy have developed a gizmo that will enable plants to talk. And these aren’t a group of mad scientists working in some creepy castle where thunder and lightening is a constant happening.
They are a bunch of seemingly sound scientists, working for the EU. Talking plants, or ‘cyborg plants’ as the scientists call them, will be able to share a variety of information on how they are feeling, if they are getting enough sun, water and so on. While on paper, or indeed in the scientific labs of Italy, this may sound like a great advancement, on the ground in the fields of rural Ireland, I foresee such progress as damaging beyond belief.
