A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.
Tenets:
(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

Who tf names their baby Mite, is it short for Mitael?
Mite is slang for something very small. It's the name of a very very tiny insect. So it is probably being used here as a term of endearment.
It's a bit of English slang that fell out of use decades back. It's an endearing way if refering to a small child. It fits perfectly with the age of the comic.
They didn't realize that new generation would never straight up answer a call anyway
I wonder if my friends would appreciate me calling their kids mites? I'm gonna test it out.
I bet your friends will think it's the bees knees. 23 skidoo!
