Human robots: almost the perfect arm, or …

… or maybe better than the arm we have?

This video shows the development on robotics and human prosthesis, and at the same time it makes me think about how intelligent was whoever created us, by evolution or by design, and how far are we still from replicating this creation. But slowly, I’m sure, by putting all the inventions and discoveries together, we are going to be able to match one day what evolution took millions of years to create. Well, only if we have enough time before we destroy our planet and ourselves.

If only we could find the human “maps”, “plan” or “formula” used by our creators, then we could just keep on improving the design instead of starting from scratch.

Enjoy and be amazed by this video:

I have been reading about Chrome, the new browser from Google, and I’m very excited about the possibilities that it is going to offer to “work” the Internet, as a browser and as a platform for developing new applications. At Google they have created a “comic” to explain it, it is so easy that even not technical people can follow it. I have to say that the ideas on security are really good, I hope they work as intended.
