mod me into oblivion. ..I don't really care, but you should know that the quote generator has a wrong quote.
It said: $100 invested at 7% interest for 100 years will become $100,000, at which time it will be worth absolutely nothing. -- Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love"
It should be: $100 placed at 7 percent interest compounded quarterly for 200 years will increase to more than $100,000,000--by which time it will be worth nothing. --Lazarus Long, "Time Enough for Love"
but people have selective attention. They ignore extra information and only retain what they pay attention to. I have a free internet service, and I find that my eyes never drift to where the banner lies. If there is to be commercials online, people will just sit and wait, and not do anything until their original destination comes up.
Think about it. With this sort of development you can use the programs to deliver target drugs to specific areas in the body with accuracy. But it can also be used to program billions of little machines to destroy DNA. It is unfortunate that developments that can benefit mankind can also be used to attack it.
