FUTURE PEST CONTROLS. “So far, pest moths and beetles have been the main targets. In the future, nematodes and insect vectors of disease might be managed by their pheromones. Lampreys which ravage Great Lake fisheries might soon be lured into traps by their pheromones. Rodent pheromones might one day replace toxic rodenticides.” https://lnkd.in/drx5_4e View in LinkedIn

TWO ASSUMPTIONS. "Assume, along with Hawking and Kurzweil, that it is plausible for the information in our heads to be digitized and stored somewhere else. And assume, as scientists now tend to do, that our minds are actually stored in our physical brains." https://lnkd.in/dNiwCAk View in LinkedIn

MIND PRESERVATION. "Professor Stephen Hawking has predicted that it could be possible to preserve a mind as powerful as his on a computer — but not with technology existing today." https://lnkd.in/dNw2Cej View in LinkedIn

STEPHEN HAWKING. "I think the brain is like a program in the mind, which is like a computer, so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain on to a computer and so provide a form of life after death." https://lnkd.in/dugqbTA View in LinkedIn

2030 GOAL. "According to some of the leading minds in the world, including Stephen Hawking, by 2030 we should have the capacity to upload a person's consciousness to a computer system. This would allow the human mind to live on in a virtually created world after the body has died, even interacting with other uploaded consciousnesses on the server." Now take a big breath. http://www.inquisitr.com/1883084/mind-trip-humans-to-live-forever-by-2030-as-persons-consciousness-could-be-uploaded-to-computer/ View in LinkedIn

GMO KILL SWITCH. “Recent progress in GM technology has seen scientists engineer “kill switches” that are designed to act as an emergency stop mechanism for GMOs. These are pieces of inserted genetic code that create characteristics intended to prevent a GMO from surviving and reproducing if they “escape” from a contained site, such as a field of GM crops, into the wild.” https://theconversation.com/kill-switches-could-make-genetically-modified-food-more-palatable-51941 View in LinkedIn
