Read some of these articles and see what I mean. This dosen't get into stuff like AI, cloning and genetic engineering. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.03/brain.html?tw=wn_tophead_6 http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,66633,00.html http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,59634,00.html http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,53302,00.html
Great Movie scary future theme of the movie is in the ancient japanese language of what (can´t remember can somebody please tell me the name of that language ?)
Wolvy, you might find this page interesting. It is about the history of Japanese, talking of similarities to Dravidian languauges such as Tamil.
retro: cool article i am reading the article right now, on another note did you know that the first samurai warriors were the Ainu people ?
man, I can't wait for wetware, I'll be the first to sign up to get a chip in my head. Fuck it, imagine being able to sit in front of the computer and type flawlessly, at 120 words a second, like the words just appear on the screen as fast as you think them. Or playing a game just by looking at the screen, or even just closing your eyes and playing in your head, with other people over the internet. Or being able to control every machine in your house just by thinking it. Wake up, think "make coffee," it's ready by the time you get out of the shower. Driving would be easy, think "stop" and the car stops, or even you see a little menu projected onto your iris giving you options, letting you see the conditon of parts in your engine, etc. How about computer assisted telepathy? Need to make a phone call? Think the person's number and you can talk to them, in your head. Too bad all of this will only begin to happen when we're old.
that reminds me of an old american film (from the 80´s) where he had a pleasure bot and found real love later and it was a bit kind of a dark future just a shame i can´t remember the name
doesnt ghost in the shell end with the woman becoming a hermaphrodite? thats one future i dont want to see.
Well, the major never had much in the way of reproductive organs to begin with (except for a full busom, I suppose) Plus the "man" who joined her wasn't ever an actual man anyway... it's kind of complicated... I actually found it more spooky that she was in that little girl body.
Wow, that last article is COOL. It's like a Codec, from metal gear! Imagine the high-end audio implications, no speakers, no amps, no nothing, straight from the source components to your brain....that's bonkers.
yah i forgot in the movie she becomes a small girl, in the manga? (comic book) i think she um becomes a hermaphrodite. i get them confused cause i read the book before i saw the movie, and the two kind of meshed in my brain.
