@hehehellothere With how small technology is getting, it will eventually become pretty seemless I think. So you can go wander around the woods if you want, and technology will be there waiting for you of course, but it won't be obvious till you call on it.

Intelligent and Humor, the best combination! Thank for the lecture!

I saw his TV show, the way how his and many other scientists' theories come alive is amazing! I loved it, this just round up how we human evolve from one generation to another.

Nothing is really impossible, just takes time.

Thats what I thought immediately aswell.. (if they even exist) Also worrying is the laughing of the audience at lectures like these. Seems like they'd swallow anything.
