the only problem with taking it to the edge is sometimes you fall off. if you do not take care of the things you need you will find that the things you need are no longer there for you
http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology ... chips.html Brain Cells Fused with Computer Chip Sounds odd to me...
the more we learn or make the more it will be to learn.. so one day wouldn't there be so much to learn that we just couldnt learn it all in one lifetime? hmmm :?
Sounds interesting to me. Seems like this is a small step towards actualy developing brains, and in doing so accelerating the possibility of actualy being able to create humans. Even though they try to act as if this would only be used as medical research I doubt that.
Science has been promising everything ever since the first person called himself a scientist. I'm more of the opinion I'll believe it when I see it now
Theoreticaly a person could develope a way to target, and fix whatever gene is causing aging. It probably wont take that long considering the number of scientists in the world.
It could cause overpopulation, but then again we are already overpopulated. You must not think that everyone would use this anyway. You must consider the desire humans have to survive. If need be people might restrict the amount of children people would be able to have, and it is not as if this would elliminate death completely. How many people have you known which have died of old age? Cancer, impact, disease these things are just a few which have the possibility of ending a humans life. This only gives man the possibility of extending their life a very long time. If someone were to avoid danger it is entirely possible that through time medical equipment, and other methods could limit the amount of people in the world, yet expand upon already existing life. There is also the possibility that in the future we may colonize other planets, and perhaps the moon. (this is actualy probable)
we defineatly are, because of human advancment thousand and thousands of species of animals and plants r now extinct, humans lived perfectly fine thousands of years ago with no technology so it has gone 2 far.
technology is the reason for obesity, war, and the soon to be downfall of humans. just think, you will soon be able to CLONE YOUR BABY
Well tech brings along both good and bad. Good because it's prolonging the lives of man and improving health. Bad because it can be used for bad things such as killing, stealing, etc. All in all, it's how technology is being used, not the technology itself.
I think I'll be satisfied with technology when I can become invisibly/fly whenever I feel inspired to.
And how exactly would that help you? Mabey you will feel more "dominant", but we don't need to fly we have airplanes.
Most people on this topic mention the main things about the automobile polluting the air and the global warming. But one has yet to think about all the further technology that can preserve our wildlife and natural nature places (lol). It is true that the advancement of out automobiles were destroying our air but the later advancements are now trying to prevent it. IE the hybrid or solar powered cars. To help with the wildlife, new medicine could be made to help extend the life span and could help with breeding. New supplements could be added to their food to increase health. The whole robot issue, yes people could get lazy, but it provides the labor for all the dirty work and provide people with better jobs. You might say some people arent able to get jobs cause there not smart enough due to educational reasons. However if someone really needs somethin, there going to have to work for it. So the whole "being lazy" thing is kinda absurd in my opinion. Phew, i don't think i wanna rant anymore. I'm tired
I suggest tech should go further. Soon enough, we will have super cars that dont polute the environment.
Technology might not have gone too far currently but it may go further in the future. In terms of wars using nuclear bombs and such, it can be devastating but the ones who hold the masses of these weapons are world governments. World leaders will not use them any old how. Even if they receive threats from enemies, decisions have to be made painstakingly. Without the use of that particular technology, it cannot go far. Apart from WOMDs, i feel that Japan is one country which is really technology-driven. Their vending machines are so cool that you couldn't possibly imagine it
