The state of the future

The state of the future � KurzweilAI: "While the growth and power of the Internet continues to surprise much of the world, the syntheses among the sciences and the resulting technological breakthroughs may have even greater impacts on the human condition. Synthetic biologists forecast that as computer code is written to create software to augment human capabilities, so too genetic code will be written to create life forms to augment civilization. Computers are being constructed with the objective of developing the processing power of the human brain. The wooly mammoth’s DNA has been used to create living blood cells like those that lived in this extinct animal 43,000 years ago."
