The Future...

I hear they're going to have nano-robots that are injected into our bodies! Ending disease. Stalling aging. People will live to be hundreds of years old. There will be no difference between us and our P.C.... because we'll be the P.C.!

Look around, and you might find the future all around us. People plugged into their Ipods, Iphones, Ipads, Ilives. No one talks on the bus anymore. (A few crazies yell, but let's not count them...) We wear Bluetooth earpieces, wrist bands with GPS trackers to gauge our progress jogging. We're half-human half-computer already!

Perhaps the future is inevitable. The further technology advances, the faster it advances, forever and ever, until we're all cyborgs. Imagine being able to increase your memory with a surgical implant. Better your eyesight with an upload. These things sound like fabrications of some Science Fiction writer's imagination, and to an extent they still are. But the future is coming. There's no stopping that. What we do with that future, that power... remains anyone's guess.

Also -- in the future, they finally discover the cure for the common cold. No, not chicken soup. It's a virus software update.
