After reading The Evolution of Human Science, I wondered as to how far into the future man would gain the ability (if ever) to genetically alter a developing human and turn it into the meta-human genius described in the story. It was while I was thinking about this that I found a really cool info-graphic. Give it a look, it provides an interesting perspective on science fiction works that everyone has grown to love.

I never realized how much of the science fiction moves and things were suppose to happen in our lifetime. This is very interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteIf something is ever going to happen, i see it happening in our lifetime. We are the smartest, most headstrong generation; we have also been given every advantage that our parents and their parents before them did not have. Technology affects us in so many ways that we almost feel as though we may be unaffected. This is not the case however. The science for genetically altering people is already here, but there will always be debates about it. The largest obstacle to overcome will be the government and the people's opinions; is this what the common good would want?
ReplyDeleteAndrew, by "the government," what do you mean? Does any government control scientific and technological research for all humanity?
