Future Technology

shared by Jennifer Wojton on 14 Feb 12 - No Cached

Jennifer Wojton on 14 Feb 12

Taken from Proquest abstract: "The fact is that deploying new technology is only one of the steps needed to soft-land in the future. Smart machines do not automatically catalyze us to smarter lives. Switching on the future entails more effort. For example, what good is going global on the Internet if your real-time allegiances remain nationalistic and ethnocentric? You can gloat over your portable equipment, but if you continue to run in place in unportable lifestyles, marinating for decades in the same apartment, the same city, the same country, the same profession, the same social ties, how portable are you?"

The article discusses regeneration and the history of its research. There is more information on the dedifferentiation process and it even approaches the ethical issues of engineering regenerative abilities in human beings.

This is extremely intriguing. I didn't know that there was technology like this in existence, I always thought this topic was science fiction.

It's all been very interesting while researching it. In response to Zack, I also didn't know how close they were to achieving this before I started this report. And to Val, it is a tad bit frightening to think what it could mean for the future, but I'm actually a little more scared of your topic, believe it or not!

It's a two-seater. Front-wheel-drive. Gets about 30 mpg on the highway. But give it a third of a mile of straight asphalt in front of it, and it really flies. Of course, you have to unfold the wings first.
