DNA's brand ... part 3 or so
This is now enough to bring DNA Finland and it's slogan "DNA - exceptionally fair" to my mind
From Sci-fi to Sci-fa...
I've always loved Science Fiction stories ... they tickle my brain and make ideas fly. Just seems that scaringly many of the Sci-Fi "speculations" are turning into Sci-Fa, Science Facts, and fast.
The other day I accidentally run into video clips about robotics. I've sort of settled to the level of Honda's friendly Asimo. I was sort of shocked (don't really know why since this is of course higly anticipated driver for most of technical developments)of how strongly military has been driving robotics. Robotic insects I've seen before but good old exoskeleton and robotic mule were new ones. The mule especially is so very capable of "living" things.
Sadly the elements from future world's as decribed eg in Stanislaw Lem's Futurologist Conference and Frederick Pohl's and C.M. Kornbluth's The Space Merchant and The Merchants' War also gets closer.
