Genetics and Biotechnology promise a future of unprecedented health and longevity: DNA screening could prevent many diseases, gene therapy could cure them and, thanks to lab-grown organs, the human body could be repaired as easily as a car, with spare parts readily available. Ultimately, the ageing process itself could be slowed down or even halted. Leading theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku looks at the revolution in genetics and biotechnology, which promises unprecedented health and longevity but also raises the spectre of a Frankenstein future of genetically engineered people. Will we, as transhumanists expect, evolve into a new species? Dr Kaku warns that we may end up in a world divided by genetic apartheid.

Visions of the Future:

Episode 1: The Intelligence Revolution

Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how, in the 21st century, artificial intelligence is going to become as ubiquitous as electricity, how robots with human-level intelligence may finally become a reality, and how we'll even be able to merge our minds with machine intelligence. As the challenges and choices are literally mind-bending, Dr Kaku asks how far we will ultimately go.

Episode 3: The Quantum Revolution

Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how quantum physics is giving mankind the power to manipulate the fundamental building blocks of matter. Science fiction ideas like the space elevator, teleportation, invisibility cloaks, or nanosized molecular machines might soon become a reality. But will we use our unprecedented scientific mastery wisely?

one person who disliked this video must be an Alien jealous of Human advancement!

[ZachRose88]

I want to be first in line for genetic engineering of human intelligence.

[Strange0ne]

@ZachRose88 Think I'll let you go first. I'll let you work out the kinks in the engineering when you are a genius ;)!

[PrivacyUnderAttack]

@Sgtmackenzie I think I know why someone disliked this awesome video. Some of this technology will inevitably be used by governments to control and domesticate us. For instance, Soviet space budget was 96% military orientated. We should always be very careful how we use this technology.

[Sgtmackenzie]

@harrisrehana Agreed. Or a religious bigot.

[NeveranticStory]

Too bad it will always be religious lunatics draging such progress down.

[ORTmusic]

I love Michio, and it always makes me giggle a bit when he says he owns a VCR. He kicks it old school!

@harrisrehana

3 aliens now...

Their numbers are increasing...

[digimon916]

in the next few centuries scientist will run the country. they will not run it directly but they will hold he knowledge that many seek in the present but will master in the future. just my though....

@tastelesstouch you wont ever evolve because you have already been born..but you can still evolve artificialy...because we can keep people alive who would othewise die...we would devolve...or we can change natural selection into unatural selection
