Oh hmmmm I suggest you check it out. It's pretty sweet.

It has Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johannson, and David Bowie in it and it is about two rival magicians.

I love all of the "fun" technology and i love that everyday it seems there is something even better.I am amazed at the life saving technology though,.I think its great that we so many options for medical problems,things that were once life threating are simple now.I know people who have had heart surgery that think it was nothing compared to what people 10 years ago had to deal with.It kinda feels like we are safer with the tech that doctors have to work with today.
........i love the internet,without it we wouldn't have HDC,and all of you great people.<3

I'm a bit of a technology addict. It keeps me poor.

I love the potential of technology. I have long held that the industrial revolution was the beginning of "dirty" technology, that consumed from the earth and began to kill it, but it is a necesarry evil, and is (and i was correct about this 10 years ago) moving more towards harmony with nature. with hydrogen cell technology, the ability to use corn to make poklymers, and nanotechnology (not to mention advances in energy like state of the art windmills and the newer version of tidal energy), we are getting better technology without the same environmental impact.


If things continue to make the positive advances it has been, things will get better. Plus, bush is almost out of office. That is good for everyone.

the internet is indeed the biggest technological advancement i've seen in my lifetime. tied to this is computers of course ... and mp3's, downloadable movies, etc.

i think my PSP is the coolest bit of technology i've bought - probably ever.


what i'd like to see in the future is true virtual reality - and the ability to transplant your brain into younger bodies.

(and a way to keep the brain from degrading - because there would be nothing more pathetic to be senile in a young body ... telling those awful jokes to waitresses, writing letters to the editor everytime someone walked on your lawn ...etc

im thinking by the time we have that technology, we will also be able to back up our brains to a hard drive, so it owuld be a simple upload, download, just like moving files and profile from an old computer to a new one.

I saw something severla years ago where they were actually trying to record skills, so in effect, you could actually learn how to fly a helicopter or martial arts, a-la the matrix.

the catch there is that they would need to make sure they include the discipline that comes with that knowledge, kind of "memory copyright protection". it owuld be frightneing for a bunch of criminals to upload the skills of say a master martial artist and the weapons skills of a navy seal, and none o fth esafety catches that people who achieve that level of skill usually have.
