I know this thread was around in the old debate, but seeing how passionate i am about this subject i can't refrain from re-creating it here, now that debate is gone. I just want it to be around in case any new info pops up or if someone else has something to say.

I think we are approaching by far the biggest leap for mankind, full of exciting opportunities and dangers as well. I will once again post a very interesting series titled "Technocalyps" which was put together by Frank Theys. It's collection of interviews of famous scientists, doctors and sociologists as well as presentation of developing technologies which will greatly impact our lives in foreseeable future. The term "technocalyps" refers to the end of our biological existence; when people will essentially abandon their bodies and become their technology.

Without further ado, here is a first part of the film, dealing with (relatively) near future.
