BioTech and the Future of What It is to be Human

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Should scientists be allowed to play around with the human genome? Should we be screwing around with our own DNA? Is it right to experiment with stem cells? Should we allow robotic parts, computer human interfaces and artificial hearts, lungs and kidneys? What will the future bring and will it be an ethical future or will we cause irreversible evolution and forget what it is to be human?

Presently we see that the BioTech industry is attempting to use that which we already have to make us better. It is competing against the robotic field of medical implants. Which is better for humanity? Should we allow either, both or only one in our future, as many believe that the entire future of the species is at stake? That is to say what it is to be human in the first place you see?

Well in this argument we see real needs for instance as there are injured and maimed Soldiers coming back who are fighting the murderers and International Terrorists and they are happy to get artificial parts to enjoy their life without too much hardship. I myself have a steel rod in my Femur Bone from a motorcycle accident. Most would agree that there is nothing wrong with that right?

Yet where do we draw the line? Do we say no artificial brains, hearts or reproductive organs? Yet what about pieces of them to help the function when they are damaged or what if they are not damaged but one wants an enhancement? Think of implants people get to better their appearance are those really wrong if it helps someone feel better about themselves? Some say it is others argue it is choice. So when do you perceive that it will be wrong? Where would one draw that line? What is humanity anyway? There is no good definition. Will humans become our own Gods, re-designing ourselves? If not then should we continue? And if so, then when will we become God and once we do, will we still be human? Think on this.

Artificial Intelligent Android Organic Combo and Bioluminescence

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Currently scientists are working with brain tissue from rats and interfacing down from a Petrie dish connected to electrodes to command electronic devices. In the future and perhaps by the third and fourth generations of artificially intelligent robotic androids we will indeed be emerging organic combinations with silicon chips. In doing so we opened up all sorts of possibilities in that we can also use the vibrational energies of the CPU, motherboard, electrical impulses, organic nerve endings and chemical reactions for power. This opens doors to potential bioluminescence, LED technologies, as well as extremely low-frequency microelectronic mechanical devices, which will run servos, actuators and systems.

For many people this subject is totally unacceptable because human beings are considered the divine creatures created in the image of their gods. And religious doctrine dictates that man has a soul and we should not merge man and machine. Just like all other sciences in the past eventually religious dogma must give way to the research and development in the future course of mankind. Since humans for the most part runoff vibrational energies, we can take the high amount of energy consumed by an artificially intelligent robotic system and use it to power up the organic part of the hybrid model. Or we can use the human or organic part of a man-machine merger and use the vibrational energy created from nerve firings to power up low-power use LED chips and LED lighting systems. This will be something we should consider and we should be thinking on, as it is only a little while until future meets our potential destiny. Consider this in 2006.

Net Gaming Rental Stores and the Best Ways You Can Successfully Make the Most of Such Services

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

In ages past prior to the world wide web, if you needed to rent computer games, you had to go out to the shop, roam round continuous displays until you spotted the title you were searching for, and then have to run to the shop the following day in order to avoid incurring overdue charges. With this state-of-the-art service for net video game rentals issues of this type are thankfully over and done with. This new type of service allows you the freedom to enjoy playing your favored choices all the time bypassing these limitations and vexations. So to maximize the full scope of that subscription, here’s a selection of useful pointers for you.

Opt for The Right Net Computer Game Rental Subscription

Once you begin to rent video games online, you’ll need to settle on how comprehensive a subscription to buy. You don’t want to select a modest package and run out of gaming time before the end of the month; however you should keep from expending more than your wallet allows, too. First, settle on the selection of titles and the average amount of playing time wanted every week. Prioritize and List Your Top Net Game Rentals

You will see that, at times, net computer games stores have all copies of a particular game out on loan, especially in the case of eminently popular or, alternately, unusual titles. To prevent any disruption in your playing, create a list of titles you’d like to play and make sure that it is kept up-to-date. This will ensure that if the title at the top of your list is out of stock the service provider can just send you the next best available alternate title. If you know already a specific title is going to be a hassle to get, place it at the top of your list so that you can improve your prospects of getting it as soon as you can.

When you subscribe for video games online, the rental deal fits in with your specific lifestyle rather than forcing you to adapt to the provider’s schedule. It is very uncomplicated and cheap to use, and with these easy hints you can achieve the greatest returns when hiring video games on the internet…

Living in a Past Period in a Virtual Reality Dream

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

In the future virtual reality may be so real that it will be indistinguishable from actual real-life. In fact as you are immersed in the virtual reality dream, your mind will be tricked into believing that you are actually in the real world scenario and that you really live in the time period and setting that the virtual reality dream has set up.

Imagine living in a past period in a virtual reality dream that you chose very similarly to pressing the buttons on a jukebox. Insert your credit card, put on a special hat on and a hood would come over you like a simulator in aviation. Your brain would be tricked into believing you are actually there and all of your senses would be engaged and immersed fully in the virtual reality dream.

Perhaps you would go to a Shakespeare play and sit in the peanut gallery and watch. You would believe that you were actually there and your memory would be blocked as to who you really are. I believe that this is the future of virtual reality and it may be so powerful with such strong visions that people will actually enjoy it to the point that it becomes a drug and or an addiction to life itself. As those people who wish to escape their present day life and stress will thoroughly enjoy it, even more than real-life. Consider all this in 2006.

UAV High Energy Laser Railroad Weapon

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

The newest high-energy laser weapons are way cool and they are available for ground based units or mobile ground based units like the THEL or even Airborne Units which are mounted in a 747 Jumbo Jet. Sounds like Star Wars or Battle Star Galactica, indeed and it is exactly like that.

Now there is a new program to build one of these units, which is about the size of a refrigerator. This means we can build small High Energy Laser Units, which can be put into a fighter jet and used as the aircraft flies, just like the X-Wing Fighters attacking Darth Vader’s Death Star.

I propose we build these units and put them into UAVs or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Why do that you ask? Well if you are going to fight a nation they will have heavy air defenses and it does not makes sense to risk human pilots on the first wave as you work to take out major SAMs or Surface to Air Missile Sites.

Stealth high-energy laser UAVs can be used with weapons on top. When they are ready to fire they invert and fly upside down for a few seconds and then turn back over to become stealthy again. We can send these units in to attack and then use them to take out major infrastructure like railroads. Railroad tracks can easily be seen from above and would not need any Satellite guidance to help locate targets.

These units could be fully autonomous and raise havoc taking out all straight lines which are unnatural to the landscape; that is to say railroad tracks, large buildings, dams and major roads. Consider this in 2006.

Business In 2010: A New Face of Marketing

Monday, May 25th, 2009

The term “internet marketing” was virtually non-existent a short 8 years ago, now it is a growing phenomenon that is raking millions every year. Because of this expanding industry, the internet landscape it changing. Where are the changes going to be? I fully expect a growth in interactive end-user experiences – an online environment catering to the individual preferences of a singular visitor. I also foresee a massive change in the way we market online. A change could include “personalized” advertisements embedded so deeply into the product that the user does not realize it as an ad.

Where is this marketing going? Where will it be in 2010? Here are some ideas:

Personal Ads:

Not “Single white male seeks….”. Advertisements displaying personalized data to the end user. This trend has started with products like Google’s AdWords, where visitors are greeted with ads specific to the content on the page. With the free flow of personal information on the internet, it is feasible that in a few years, the advertisements could be as specific as, “Bob, the Buick is over due for an oil change, here are the 3 closest Quick Lubes”

Advertisement Channels:

Cable channels are expanding so quickly it is hard to keep up, soon, we could be surfing over to channel 1430 for the “2010 Chevrolet Series”, where we actually sit down and watch a one hour special on Chevy’s – this mode of advertisement would work for a couple of reasons:

- It is highly targeted

Current television advertising (commercials) often get the MUTE button treatment or we get up to get more popcorn, leaving an unknown number of viewers watching the 30 second ad.

- Accepting market

When viewer tune in specifically for a product, your message effectiveness grows exponentially. For example, if you the viewer are not interested in the “Home Depot Shed Products” advertisement channel, don’t watch. For those of you who are interested in home and garden and Do It Yourself, this channel would serve as your personal how-to expert. Home Depot reaches only those interested in their product while maintaining their orange apron image.

Customized Webpages:

On some webpages now, a visitor can change the color and theme of the webpage. This makes for a more enjoyable destination – leading to more recurring visitors. Once a user has spent the time to build their own portal, they will return and use that as their primary resource of information (think MSN).

Webpages of the future must be able to support a “no two alike” mentality. End users must have the option of customizing their content, color, theme, and functionality.

The changes are on the horizon, prepare your business to capture visitors and give them the “one-on-one” feeling.

Designer Hurricanes Spinning The Wrong Direction; Owning the Weather by 2006

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Is it possible to start a hurricane, which spans the opposite direction in order to stop a hurricane from forming? Or would the energy being created merely disrupt the hurricane formation only to allow it to join forces later and cause an even bigger hurricane?

Now, before all the scientists and weather meteorologists jump all over my scenario; I would like to point out that with high-energy lasers and large directional sound beams we may be able to start a circular rotation of wind sufficient enough to cause a hurricane like mini-tropical depression. Ah so now I have your interest?

The United States Air Force is working on ways to control the weather and has a future roadmap of; Controlling the Weather by 2025 and believe it or not they are way ahead of schedule. Now then, where might you try my little experiment? Well, you could try it off the coast of Africa although you would just be getting energy to a storm system, which would still have time to form as it came across the Atlantic towards the Caribbean.

You could try it in the Caribbean somewhere below Cuba. You might even try it 100 miles offshore in order to take a category four or category 5 hurricane down to a category one hurricane; what you think? Consider this and 2006.
