Robot or Next Gen Tank for DARPA

This little robot seriously can go anywhere. Now imagine it scaled up to tank size.

Yaa, that's what I was thinking.

a dragon fly remote control from Wowee.

Just watch the video. From the creators of Robosapien and that monkey head thing you'll now be able to have your very own remote control dragonfly. It's actually pretty cool looking. You know DARPA is wondering if they can mount a camera and some missles on this little thing.

Cute Personal Robot Controlled By Cellphone

I'm not gay but that's a cute little robot and it can be yours (if you live in Japan) for only $2,206. It's not clear from the video but I think the bot is probably controlled through a bluetooth enabled phone. I'm thinking the cost per minute to run this thing is...oh, about....$367.00 because that's about how long it'll hold my attention once I get it to skate backward and forwards a few times. You can program it using your PC so maybe the truely geeky can get it down to $100.00/min.

Transhumanist-You Are Mighty

A link to a website with a somewhat inspiring and dramatic (flash media ?) perspective of the empowering abilities of transhumanism. Includes catchy music (lyrics anyone?) The title makes it seem like we are superhero wannabes but like I said, catchy.

Detailed Roadmap of the 21st Century

Peter Pesti posted a year by year roadmap of the changes (especially technological) that were predicted by government reports and futurists. Peter intends to keep the list updated as new reports and updated predictions become available as well as by highlighting missed predictions in red and made predictions in green.

Interestingly, to myself anyway, there is no prediction of laboratory produced gravitomagnetic energy being confirmed, controlled and harnessed so I will make one here in the hopes that Peter will decide to use it in his next update.

I predict that lab produced gravitomagnetic energy will be confirmed by 2008 and that by 2010 scientists will have learned how to control and amplify the energy causing a paradigm shift in technology. Within the span of only a couple of years, engineers will have scaled a system for mass production and integration. By 2015 the first car will be driven, the first satellite launched, the first lifting system, the first large scale and personal defense systems and the first power system using the technology will have been developed.
