In class we watched videos of robotics and how they are helping to make our lifes easier. We watched alot of videos on how they are incorporating technology into life. They are infusing technology into cells to help with the treatment of cancer. The created biotic arms that can pick up grapes, and function as a normal arm would. These arms are able to function, lift, and grip things like we would with a normal arm. Then there is a robot that has the ability to walk and balance all on its own. They are building the technology around the natural world and are making it function like the natural world.
With all this technology it makes me wonder what are it's limitations. Where does all the new innovations stop, and how far can we take it. Will we be able to build technology right into DNA. Can we build something that actually lives or is that unacheivable. If we have things that can sense what we are thinking, can we do that without it being attached to us. Or can we build a full suit like Tony Stark in "Iron Man"? All the new technology is pretty amazing but it makes me wonder where does it stop, where do we draw the lines, and is it all ethical?
