New technology is
increasing faster every day. DARPA ( Defense Advance Research
Projects Agency) is researching new technology projects daily.
What is new today is old tomorrow. Is technology leaving you behind?
Are there those that still do not have a cellphone, a computer, or
a gps( global positioning system). If you are not careful
technology will leave you behind.

1. IBM Watson
It is amazing how IBM Watson originally was on jeopardy, but has now gone on to the
medical field.
According to 60
minutes IBM Watson can read 1 million books per second and it never
forgets what it learns. Can you imagine having a photographic memory
and never forgetting anything that you have learned? They have used
Watson in the medical field to help come up with creative cancer
treatments for various patients. Did you know that AI (artificial
intelligence) is used in smart-phones and in many of our household appliances?
2. Charlie Rose did
an interview with (Sophia) a robot.
It has been said that there is the possibility that robots with
artificial intelligence will eventually be able to think for
themselves. It may sound far fetched, but this may happen in the
future. The robot that he interviewed appeared to be very life-like.
2. Tablets (Chrome
Tablets)
Were you aware that
some elementary schools have given their students computer tablets as
part of the school curriculum. They have homework on it and they
use their tablets a great percentage of their time in school. Yes, I
have seen this already happening. Since this is a computer generated
age, children seem to love it and use the tablet naturally.
3. Mixing Human DNA
with Animal DNA 2011
Can you imagine
having human DNA mixed with animal DNA? Well research is attempting
to do this. There is a claim that there is 150 hybrids that exists
experimenting with human and animal DNA. So it is not a matter of
when this will happen, but it is already happening. Animals with
human genes Can you imagine an animal with human genes? Can you
imagine a mouse that talks or a dog with human hands and feet? That
is just how far scientific research has gone according to reuters.com.
It is talked
about in the video below.
Will there be a new
form of humanity? There is a prediction of it. Is it crossing the
line with DNA mixing of humans and animals? We already have
genetically modified food, but now there has been advancement to
humans. Are scientists possibly creating monsters unknowingly?
Will laws need to be amended because of genetically modified humans
that have been altered and now considered non-human? What is the
world coming too? What are your thoughts on this?
In the Article Technology Now and Then, there is discussion about research on computers controlling the
brains. There has also been suggestion of future brain uploading and
sharing via the internet.
4. DARPA( Defense
Advance Research Projects Agency)
Some of the things
that DARPA has been developing are algorithms that predicts your
future movements, electronic tattoos on your arm to use as a
password, and a pill that you can swallow which will make your entire
body as a password.

The robots are here and AI is racing ahead. Yet none can ever equate the to the super computer. The human brain of which we use less than 10% thanks for sharing at the pits top

Thanks Sylvia.
Wow! I had no idea; thanks for sharing with us at Love to Learn. Pinned.
Some of this is rather scary. I am not sure that I am ready for some of the technologies on the horizon.
Dr. Elise it can be scary.
