I enjoyed how the speaker Mr Enriquez was calm thoughout the presentation and how funny some the pictures on his slide. The idea of that some day we will become evolve far enough that we can hear animals talk and see ultraviolet light is a hopeful one that I hope we approach soon. Although these ideas of evolution and technology are benifical I doubt we will reach them anytime soon, because of the recent recession we are in. I hope one day we will have rosie the robot lol
I thought the video was really interesting. It's amazing how even through a recession that is affecting our nation, people are wasting no time creating and spreading new ideas for the future. It's just amazing to know that anything, and literally anything, can be created with technology.
I believe that Juan Enrique did a great job explaining the dynamics of homo evolutis. I believe that it would be a terible thing if humans in the future created human robots. The concept of regeneration does not pose a threat to me because I believe anything to improve on human health is great. But robots can cause more problems than the current economy.
The speaker, Juan Enriquez, was very effective in defining the Homo evolutis amidst the economic downturn. It is amazing to see all the different types of things that are being made possible, such as the growing of cells and tissues. The ability to grow an ear or a bladder and maybe even a heart can save so many lives and create a revolution in health care. From what he said, this is only the beginning of this evolution and who knows, maybe the whole human body can be grown in the future. It is kind of scary to see the robot that was so life-like. The way it moves and carry itself seems like a real animal. It is an interesting thought to see what this would make of the future when people can not differentiate between something real and a robot.
