Engineered Enhancers Closer Than You Think

Posted by michael on from the steve-austin dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Happy 2035! Thirty years from now, we'll use bionic eyes giving us 'zoom vision' for faster reactions. Nanobots injected in our bloodstream will complement our immune system. Artificial muscles built with electroactive polymers will help us to be stronger and faster. So you think it's science fiction? Not at all. You'll see that some people are so convinced that this kind of human enhancements will happen that they predict than in a few decades, all sporting events 'will be split up to accommodate enhanced and unenhanced athletes.'"

    Why the uproar? There is not a single link to Roland's blog in the article text.

  2. Congratulations Roland -- 116 Articles by toxic666 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes, 116 Roland articles on /. this year. That's almost one every three days.

    Seeing as the links are Roland's advertisement-laden page, is it any wonder people suspect a kickback to /.?

    It was inevitable he would get one posted on 31 December. As predictable as death and Texas.
