Home is where the bricks is.

I have a friend who travels everywhere in a motor home. It's very convenient, but I can't help buy feel that it's a little cramped. The fact is, you don't need the air space in the centre of the van while you are travelling along.. The fact is, it's more of a hinderance than a help.

This is where I predict intelligent bricks will come into play. Imagine filling a trailer with intelligent bricks. You offload the bricks at your destination, and then they build themselves into the house of your choice, linking together with mechanised link bolts.

it's all in the genes.

Britain will be hosting the olympics in 2012. This means that we have 6 years to come up with some world beating atheletes.

Let's face it, China, the US and Australia have stolen a lead on creating some super fit athletes. The only hope for us is if we GROW some competitors. Sounds mad? well, the kind of technology as seen on films like "demolition man" and "the 6th day" may soon become reality.

Imagine a team of toned, perfect competitors. This team will have been grown in a giant test tube in super quick time, probably using stem cell technology, combined with some kind of flesh growth medium. Don't ask me how it'll all work, I'm just a futurologist. We'll get some clever bods to work on it.

The point is, technology has reached a point when we can do what we want. We can create humans in any shape we wish. super intelligent, super quick, super super... anything. Just look at the example set by The professor of cybernetics at the Millhampton Institute of Technology. He's already had his arm replaced with a vacuum cleaner in the name of science.
