Wow.


If war brought such advanced technology to its time before, I couldn't imagine what a large war today would bring...kind of a chilling thought, you know what I mean?

The End of our Species most likely.

Problem with most human weaponry, is that it's indiscriminate. Wiping out your enemies, will likely wipe our yourself.

This is why I find war pointless. In the end, neither side wins. Thousands of innocent lives are lost, and countries an governments are left in shambles. Humans are thier own worst enemies. If anything, we'll be the cause of our own extinction.

Indeed. Well-known, well said. Saddest in the trait that we know this, yet seem to continue forward in a reckless abandon towards it.

Same here. When I see lobster I can't think of scientific advancements; only my rumbling tummy and how good they taste, lol.

It's a mortal folly.

The US Goverment has lost about 50 nukes,they could be in anyones hands.

Also to become immortal we have to get lobster DNA and jellyfish DNA and then put it into a human then they can be reborn/immortal?

That's how science works right?

Lol. Not quite, we don't have to become sea-faring abominations of our former selves. We can 'imitate' these qualities, or even just draw new genetic traits based upon them that are more suited to our own selves.

Whether we should or could...well..Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written largely as an embodiment of a fear of the age of rapidly advancing technology.

I also agree with Einstein's observation that our technology has exceeded our humanity. In other words our capabilities has exceeded our accumulated wisdom. There are many ways in which wisdom can be gained, unfortunately it's usually the path of tragedy.

There was actually this scientist that injected spider DNA into a goat embryo. The result? There's goats out there with milk you can soon spider silk from. It's really wierd, but perhaps it is possible to create immortality in humans through science.

Ah yes, Spider Silk Armor. Look it up...fascinating stuff.

Isnt spider silk one of the toughest materials in the world?

I shouldn´t have scoffed at Kobby´s car. Now my own has died


...snassin!!

HA! Not so fun now, is it?



-points and laughs hysterically-

The advancement of technology is amazing and as Black Hand noted, is still going strong. Human lifespans are longer due to medical advancements in the last few decades, communication is easier than it has ever been, and weapons techology is advancing at a very fast pace.

Some innovations are good for humanity and some are not. Having superior weaponry is not always bad because it can serve as an effective deterrent to war with the nations that possess them but they can also serve as a way for governments to oppress their own citizens as well as other less powerful nations.

Basically I believe that having a strong and capable military can keep you safe from invasion and can deter wars that might have been started by other nations. The cold war could perhaps have become an actual war had the potential for extreme losses not been present because of the weapons that the nations involved possessed.

Snassin´ frassin´!!

Never look down on anyone. Unless you're in the process of helping them up.

Karma got you back good XD

It shouldn´t have. I was just joking!

Stupid near-sighted Karma

Karma is a...well, you know XD

Not real?
