* The thoughts of nanotechnology and its use for military, human health, and food applications, are no longer the futuristic notions of dreamers. Learn how computers no smaller than your own blood cells will be your hope for a new tomorrow.
* Can't have a child or you would like a child free of disease, with a certain color hair and eyes. Or, would you like to choose your child's potential IQ? Read inside to find out more.
* Have you ever dreamed that someday there would truly exist a fountain of youth? Well your wait is over.
* The end of world hunger, the creation of super humans, and the ability to travel from home to any where in the world in 2 seconds on a beam of light, may yet exist within our lifetime. Learn more..
* Learn how DNA computers will replace today's silicon micro processor in the years to come...
* A cure for Alzheimer's, Parkinson disease, Sickle cell anemia, and even Cancer may already exist. Learn more today!!!
* Will computers with the capability of using artificial intelligence take over mankind or will we remain in control?
These are but a few of the exciting discoveries that you will find inside this book. Don't wait, take a glimps of the future as it exist today, and journey with me as we go in search of a world beyond the 21st century.
As a young child, I would go outside at night and gaze at the stars and wonder. My parents, both having their Masters Degree’s and beyond, gave me the latitude to
question and to dream. As a teenager, I excelled in my studies and was elected by my town to be an exchange student in Europe. I was flown to Washington D.C, where I was briefed by Senators before my flight. I lived with families in Germany, Austria, & England. I also traveled to Holland, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, & Czechoslovakia. As an adult, I have also traveled to Italy, Canada, Mexico, & the Bahamas. Meeting people and making friends with individuals from various cultures increased my respect for different beliefs and viewpoints..
I am a graduate of Texas Tech University, with a B.B.A. in Business Management. I also have a Masters Degree in Management Information Systems.
Outside of the various certifications and positions I have earned throughout my life, I realize that I would have nothing if it were not for the ones that struggled before me.
I have over 18 years of management experience in the fields of Information Technology, Insurance, Finance, and Health Care. I currently manage the Mainframe, Midrange, and Systems Support areas of a major Health Care provider.
Overall, I am still a small town boy that happens to live in the big city. The encouragement of my wife, my mother, and the love of my daughter, has been an inspiration to me. Because of their love, your journey into the hidden secrets of our future can now begin. So, remember back when you were a child and when you still dared to dream. Take that leap of faith again today and read more of the dreams that await you, beyond the 21st Century.
Medicine, biology, quantum physics, computer engineering, chemistry, aerospace, and business are just a few of the areas where you can find current cutting-edge technology (from nanotechnology to neural networks with artificial intelligence). This book examines over a dozen topics on the cutting edge of technology. The affect on our lives and commerce, as well as, where all of this technology is leading in the years to come will be addressed. Just a few years ago, this information might have been well suited for a science-fiction novel, but today it defines what’s new on the scientific front.
Imagine tiny computers so small they must be seen with a microscope. Consider machines smaller than a red blood cell that can circulate through your body and attack and remove infectious organisms. Imagine the creation of ultra light materials that are 10 times as strong as steel or the creation of Molecular computers that could contain storage devices capable of storing trillions of bytes of information in a structure the size of a sugar cube. Consider the day when we are able to cure cancer by simply drinking a medicine stirred into our favorite fruit juice. All of these notions are ideas behind nanotechnology.
Like computer chips, which perform millions of mathematical operations a second, Biochips can perform thousands of biological reactions, such as decoding genes in seconds. Widespread use of biochips could remove the guesswork from early treatment of many diseases. Imagine using different DNA-splicing techniques, perhaps within a few years, to attempt to cure two inherited genetic diseases in fetuses. Just place your order for a new born baby with blue eyes, blond hair, higher cognition, or whatever trait a couple desires, and then wait 9 months. It could be only a few years away.
“Beam me up, Scotty,” may be here sooner than you think, say scientist from the California Institute of Technology. In the future, teleportation could be used to send information to create replicas of objects, not just beams of light. In 1993, a group of six scientists from IBM confirmed the intuitions of the majority of science fiction writers by showing that perfect teleportation is indeed possible in principle, but only if the original is destroyed. So,” Will the real Captain Kirk please stand up! “
We have cloned sheep, mice, and cows, so what’s to stop scientist from cloning a human? In January 2001, a small consortium of scientists led by Panayiotis Zavos, a former University of Kentucky professor, and Italian researcher Severino Antinori said that they planned to clone a human in the next two years. At about the same time, the New York Post reported a story about an American couple who planned to pay $500,000 to Las Vegas-based Clonaid for a clone of their deceased infant daughter.
These scientists may be chasing glory in the name of science. Whatever their motivation, it is likely that we will see the first cloned human baby appear on the evening news perhaps as soon as 2007.
