Spy Fly

opencity writes "CNN (and AP) reports on the 'Spy Fly' project. "Biologists and technologists at the University of California, Berkeley have spent the past four years developing a tiny robot, called the Micromechanical Flying Insect, that they say will one day fly like a fly." Good technical stuff on the Cal Berkeley page. The Pentagon likes the idea for spying and battlefield deployment but their page has no info about weaponization or command / communication technologies."

Paraniod or not, do you honestly believe we can use this technology responsibly? All of these war weapons and spy technology shouldnt be developed, due to the fact that humanity cannot use them responsibly.

Insect spy technology would be almost unstopable, and has the impact on society that the atomic bomb once had, how is this a good thing? How could it ever be a good thing?!

Too much money is spend on stupid shit like this and not enough money is spent on educating the masses.

What good is spending 350-400 billion a year on the military if you only spend 20 billion a year on public schools? You end up with a nation of irresponsible morons who are going to be controlling weapons of mass destruction.

What the hell? If Nano Technology weapons start to appear, I have absolutely no faith that humanity will be able to handle it.
