PAPER IS NOT DEAD, PROGRESS, 3-D ORGANS, SMART SOCKS, BRAS AND RINGS

PAPER IS NOT DEAD - My friend sent me this today. Click HERE.

PROGRESS - "In his 1999 book The Age of Spiritual Machines Kurzweil proposed "The Law of Accelerating Returns". We won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate).  Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history."

3-D PRINTED ORGANS - "bio-printing" uses 3-D printing technology to create human tissue and organs.  A company recently printed a slice of human liver that survived 40 days. Other teams have printed kidney and heart tissue. As the technology gets even better, we could see full-fledged organs printed using cells from a patient's own body. Some researchers predict we could have bio-printed hearts this decade. The need for transplant donors and worries about organ rejection would be over!

SMART SOCKS - A company is making socks that record how you run and give you feedback to improve and prevent injury. (Guess if you break your ankle, you just refer to paragraph above)

SMART BRA - Microsoft is working on a "smart" bra that senses a woman's emotions. (Good luck with that one!)

SMART RING - Google is working on a ring that replaces your remote control and stores your passwords. (I already lost my wedding ring. Twice. So this smart ring may not be for me)

Rapid increases in Knowledge and Technology were predicted just before the return of Christ in the Bible.  Read Daniel 12:4 HERE.  Guess we are right on track to fulfill this prophecy.
