Human Progress and Advancement

humans are fascinating creatures
our knowledge is more advanced than any other creature on Earth
and our knowledge is growing non-stop
it makes me wonder "How far can we go?"

when JFK said he was going to put a man on the moon
everyone thought it was bogus and silly
but we ended up putting a man on the moon, it was truly a great step for man kind
although no major space exploring occurred since 1969 Apollo Project (exception of few trips to space station)
we are advancing

i have posted that i played Metal Gear Solid series
well Metal Gear Solid 4 takes place in year 2014 where weapons are IDed using soldier's DNA (sorry if i am wrong), unmanned robotic security roaming around (Gekko and Sentry), a virus that kills certain people with certain DNA (FOXDIE), super computer that controls the world (The Patriots), camo that is supreme (Snake's sneaking suit), special undetectable nuclear weapons (Nuclear warhead used by Metal Gear Ray), medical technology that allows people to mutate DNA to allow one to have special powers (Volgin and Cobra Ops), technology to create cyborg (Cyborg Ninja and Raiden), and nanomachines that controls soldiers and enables them to communicate without speaking

it got me think "Will this how world would look like in 10-20 years?"
other than the special abilities and cyborg
i believe everything else in MGS is not far away from being invented
there was a news a while ago about an invisible tank, being researched in US Military
who would thought?
invisibility was only in fantasy books and movies, but in maybe 10 years
US military will add an invisible tank to list of weapons

not only the weapons, but what about entertainment systems?
PS3 and Xbox 360 have awesome graphics, some looks soooo realistic its not even funny
and TV, plasma HD TVs that displays crystal clear picture.
and come February TV in US will abandon analog and go Digital
so whats next?
its exciting to see how world will look in 10-20 years...
