I found this article interesting and reminecent of "Star Trek the Next Generation" Borgs .We human beings just may outsmart ourselves yet. I have often commented that I am happy to have grown up in the 1940's and 1950's when children played outside and all over the neighborhood with no fear of pedophiles. Not that there weren't any pedophiles then, it was merely that we didn't know about them and all adults watched out for children even in the neighborhoods of larger cities. Our movies were shoot 'em up cowboy and Indians and musicals with no scenes that would embarrass anyone or provide more information to children than they needed. We didn't have a childhood obesity problem because we played outside running, swimming and riding our bikes in stead of locked indoors watching MTV.
Indeed I was one of the fortunate ones. Now I am considering myself doubly fortunate to be in my so called "declining" years because I will not have to witness the total degradation and destruction of mankind. Because no matter how wonderful the nano technology sounds and the wonderful things it will allow us to do there is sure to be a more sinister use of the science long before any good comes of it. BB
