My timeline for the next decade

Yeah, the internet is big. But society changes slower than technology.

Well, the human genome project was informational, but has not yielded any revolutionary results yet. The Rise of China? What do you mean by that? And nanobots, again, have not yielded anything revolutionary yet.

I know... I said that it could delay it a really long time. (Stem-cell research, cloning, nanotechnology, etc.)

I'll accept that, but (as I mentioned above) our society always changes way slower than technology. We've had the internet, albeit in a primitive form, since the 60s, but we didn't start using it seriously until the 90s.

Besides, some of these things are so dangerous to the world that they should not be allowed to flourish (cloning, nanotechnology.)

 

I'm surprised Musharref hasn't been assassinated already. There's been numerous attempts.

Not to sound sadistic, but I'm also surprised no one has taken a hit at Bush. Chances are reasonable that someone from the military or a disgruntled 9/11 victim could do such a thing. It could even happen inside a military base where he's always visiting.

Recall the U.S. troop in Iraq who blew up his own commander and a few other people in his group. (the U.S. media covered this story for one day and never mentioned it again)

 

Hate to be the one to tell you, but...

The progress of other countries in these fields WILL affect the rest of us. The U.S. government can hinder progress in the states, but not globally.

 

Computer's in the 60's were the size of rooms.

I can now surf the web on my phone/camera/mp3 player.

Technology has streamlined and sped up more in the last 10 years than in the last 100...
