Lots of stuff that nobody thinks about.

Neat stuff......very interesting info.



And with all those tech innovations and advancements....we still can't wipe our own ass as a species.

Technology is very dangerous when you are too irresponsible to use it safely and with long term benefit.......modern humans are the perfect example of that.


“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

We had a meeting at my job and they showed us that video. It's kinda scary if you think about it. Especially if they hired some dick to trim the fat of the company and outsource your job to India.

VERY interesting, but I don't think it really surprises any of us. These are predicted capabilities. Nobody can predict how they'll be used. Let's cross our fingers.


Also, did you know....

According to the U.S. Government, in 2030 marijuana will contain 600% more active ingredients than it currently does. This means that it will be made up of approximately 120% THC. It won't take one of those $1,000 supercomputers to understand that they're full of shit.


Edit: Ok, the THC percentage debate isn't applicable here, and no, that prediction isn't real, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Heh, but this IS real: according to our government, chronic and hydro are super potent version of the mj.

Hey, you gotta think here... it's because of technology (sit down toilets replacing squatting toilets) that we have to wipe our asses so much more!

Personally, I don't get how humans consider themselves so advanced as a species, yet we are the only ones who have to deal with wiping our asses in the first place. When I watch a dog take a shit and walk away without a problem, I feel inferior.

Yeah... you know, in 1980, I thought by 2007 I'd be gliding around in my hovercar and experiencing a remarkable virtual reality existence in my sensory deprivation chamber on my mansion on Mars

Remember on Back to The Future...I think the 2nd one, where they put that tiny pizza in the "rehydrator" and some Red Baron type shit comes out of there? I was expecting at least something like that by now. Or at least a $5,000 car or something. I mean...you go from a Vespa or something automatic(motorcycles don't count here) all the way up to a $9,000 Hyundai. There's nothing in the middle. We need a safe, slower-than-fuck, small, cheap automobile. Almost like a "disposable" car(I know you're probably saying "Bro, that's called a USED car", but I think you get my point.)

Congratulations on post '666' btw

So, do you mean things like this...?

Golf carts are increasingly being used in warmer climates as the main mode of transportation. Makes most in-town trips pretty damn pleasant.

And of course you have douchebags who totally miss the point and come out with shit like:

very cool if all true. I hope this video is not meant to scare you??? whats with the ending... "what does it all mean"

to me... it means we (the human race) have come a long way.

I do occasionally pride myself with the fact that I've read way more books, and therefore have way more knowledge than Aristotle.

I guess the logical suite to this information is that in the 21st Century, those Chinese whiz kids will merge with the super computer, to form new super entities; the Chimputers, that will rule the world.

Imagine, they will win every god damn Ping Pong tournament, since they can calculate the ball trajectory to perfection...

I really give you alot of credit for looking at it this way. That's a more positive outlook than I think I've ever had about our future. I wish I could feel like this.

i read a long time ago that technology always has, and always will evolve at an exponential rate..

i doubt we're gonna be battling murderous robots with Will Smith or anything, but shits gonna get interesting in the future. we're in for a crazy ride.

if you have fancy cable or satelite.. watch the show "Beyond Tomorrow".. that stuff blows my mind sometimes.
