Response to Andrew

In response to Andrew - full post here

Well, I think that this sort of augmented human is very close in the future. I think that sooner, rather than later, prosthetic limbs and other artificial body parts will be available more readily.

I also think that this is very likely to cause a bad situation. I think it is vital that we move towards socialism before that sort of crazy unfairness settles in. If it did, the middle and poor classes would be at a distinct disadvantage, given that they won't have the same abilities and potential as the more technologically augmented humans. Society needs to change before technology reaches a certain point on the horizon. If society does not change, the world and its people will be in a really bad place. I think the situation is more precarious than many people give it credit for.
