Re: What technology means for Christians ... and pretty much everyone else, too

This front-page, May 16, Washington Post article has a pretty interesting title: "Inventing our Evolution." It talks about how exponential technology advances will affect our human bodies in the coming decades. That's why I'm planning to work until 90 years-old and live until more than 100 ... unless Jesus returns first. :-)

Traditionally, human technologies have been aimed outward, to control our environment, resulting in, for example, clothing, agriculture, cities and airplanes. Now, however, we have started aiming our technologies inward. We are transforming our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities and our progeny. Serious people, including some at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, consider such modification of what it means to be human to be a radical evolution -- one that we direct ourselves. They expect it to be in full flower in the next 10 to 20 years.
