NASA Scientist Speaks about

[Ion Silverbolt]

CnnFnTech News (http://cnnfntech.yellowbrix.com) has an interesting article up about the near future in robotic technology. Here's a snip:

Technology is changing society faster than any previous revolution. The way humans live, work, commute, eat, learn and even wage war could surpass science fiction before most of today's babies have children.

Already, scientists have transplanted the brain of a sea lamprey into the body of a robotic fish. "This, ladies and gentlemen," he said, "is an example of the first cyborg. We've done it."

The whole article is a pretty interesting read on just what the future might hold for us in technology.

I think eventually, our society will have to embrace genetically enhanced humans for the survival of our race. I mean as many resources we are using up, it makes sense to possibly breed humans to breathe underwater and become fishlike, or to support space travel better.

Or even to be able to survive harsher climates. Also, science and knowledge are at such a high, it may be necessary to genetically enhance our lifespans and mental abilities to be able to continue to evolve our scientific knowledge farther.

Kind of like the X-men in a way. We may one day have to speed our evolution or choose its direction one day to survive.

Hmmmm, since I'll probably be an old fart by the time they have this technology hitting the mainstream, I wonder if prosthetics will become more of an enhancement to old people rather than a mere limb replacement? Heheheh ...
