Who wants story ideas?

In response to a horribly generic knowledge probe question, I wrote this horribly generic response.

Without engineering, the responsibility of applying scientific principals in order to solve problems would fall to artists. Their solutions would be wondrous to witness and contemplate, but save for a few from artist that find beauty in practicality or reliability or safety, artistic solutions will be neither of these in most cases. Society would have to tread slowly and softly around such technological wonders.

Sounds like a fic prompt. Hmm.
