Future Superhumans with Nanotechnology
Superman remains a powerful force to reckon in the American Culture even after 74 years of his debut as an comic book action hero. Its easy to understand why. Superman fulfills all that we yearn for - godlike supernatural physical abilities, good looks, an indestructible and predictably consistent future, bionic limbs and a body which is superhuman. Among the new innovative technologies one talks of – ‘Superbodies of the Future ‘. This is going to happen. As technology advances exponentially, we know for sure that by the year 2030 the solution to aging will have been found. In the coming years we will see future superhumans with nanotechnology!
How will we create Future Superhumans with Nanotechnology? Most renowned and controversial futurist Ray Kurzweil says that by 2030 our bodies will have Nanobots the small size of red blood cells . These nanobots will be far more superior to any medical technology known to man today. These nanobots will be regulating our DNA, our immune system , getting rid of all the bad aspects and regenerating new parts. Ray Kurzweil is known to have the most number of correct predictions about mankind and the future of technology.
Nanotechnology is set to revolutionize the world of Sports as well as the scope of medicine. Athletes will have better -more resilient bodies after using performance enhancing drugs. The paralysed will be able to walk again using machine-brain interface which will make it possible for mechanical limbs to respond to human thought . There is some research related to healing wounds instantaneously- aportable laser pen capable of sealing up wounds.
Examples of technology used to enhance physical ability are known and not so rare, Tiger Woods underwent laser eye surgery to see better than 20/20 vision helping him to excel at Golf. Diane van Deren a former tennis player underwent lobectomy, a form of brain surgery which altered her perception of time making her incapable of judging its passing. That surgery has enabled her to become one of the most successful female extreme distance runners in human history. Both she and Woods show no immediate outward sign of their superior physical structures they possess.
So what we hope to see in the next twenty years is revolutionary technology in a future era of unprecedented connectivity, path breaking medical innovations and a chance to be superman!
