Yeah, tech advances at such a rate that buying a £1,250 processor will be 'out of date' in about a year.

Quad cores...they are like £100 now, they were thousands last year!

P.S Holy crap, R-D-A is online! I'm at college so I might not reply as much! :(

Yeah indeed ... I cant imagine what will be out by the time we get old :P

PS : Why do u say "Holy Crap"? :P and no worries about replying :P

We'll be here ^^

Thanks for reading. :) And of course, there's always a cost to any kind of research, unfortunately...it's just unavoidable. It *will* be interesting to see what branches of research will be developed, and the practical applications they'll have. I really do find the field fascinating, just feel the need for caution. ;)

Caution is super necessary. But Biology will make us so more advanced in this century. I heard an the dean of the University of Heraklion in my town saying that this century, we will see awesome stuff from Biology. And the Uni of Heraklion is the best one for Physics/Chemistry/Maths and Biology in the whole Balkan peninsula^^

Oh Eywa, I want a tail. And a billion of those flowers to plant in my backyard and frolic through :P But in all seriousness, this stuff sounds incredible. I can't wait to see where we'll be in 30-40 years :)

Of course! That goes without saying :P! The queue is definitely a necessity :)

Its a bold statement, but some futurists believe that our technological advance will just increase in speed and magnitude until we can create AI in a computer, that can create a smarter computer which can create an even smarter computer... you get the idea.

The idea is great, because we all want to discover the holy grail and achieve immortality - Who wouldnt want to live on and see what happens in 100 years ? NASA Stated that they want manned shuttles on mars in 2030, so what happens after then ? Will we ever be able to develop Anti-matter rockets that boost our traveling speed so we can send props even further into space and such.... Will we ever find E.T ? I sure as hell want to be around to find out!

However, we already posses the power to destroy our world with explosivs, soon enough we might be able to wipe out our own world on a molecular level... its dangerous and we have to approach it with caution.
It's just im afraid someone will screw up eventually in order to make sure his name goes down in the great books along with einstein, bohr, newton, hubble and so on...( I gotta present this before anyone else, i can test if its dangerous later... BOOM.. bye bye )
Someone will forget to respect what they are working with and unleash something baaaaaaaaaaaaad -.-
So its a very fine line of balance!

There are always dangers with advancement and..war between super advanced countries that could be space faring. I think that we will need a united government to govern the people in the next decades.

As for the advancement rate, its accurate. Our century is going to have an advancement rate that is going to be about 21.000% faster than any other century eva! man i'm going to love the advances coming up :D

I do like the idea of gene therapy because we can eliminate congenital defects that are no longer being erased by natural selection without resorting to action-T4 style sterilising or killing the sufferer.

On a side note, if your interested in the topic of genetics I do recommend renting the movie Gattica. It how this technology can affect people that don't have access to it!

That flower looks incredible! What's holding up production of those things?

Interesting times ahead for science.

Those are GENETIC monstrosities for crying out loud!:war::angry::war:

This is not a Tattoo we are talking about we would be creating another species or multiple species on the face of the Earth and different species fight sooner or latter.

Considering we're already such a kind and caring species that fight among ourselves regularly, I don't see an issue there.
