The reboot of the economic crisis comes from science labs
This video from Juan Enriquez is very amusing where he talks about the "ultimate reboot" for the economy.
According to Juan is the ultimate reboot a combination of:
- Cells
- Tissues
- Robots
Cells Juan gives an overview of the development in cell engineering. Last year the complete programmable cell was shown. MIT has developed a bio toolbox where you can select a set of proteins, DNA and other components to compose a new organism.
Tissues He also shows a set of examples of growing new body parts with the help of stem cells in a petri dish. For example: molders, ears and bladders. They even removed a part of a hart en grew this part in order to make this hart beat again.
Robots As an example he shows BigDog and a robot fly.
According to Juan the combination of those three trends will lead eventually to the Homo Evolutis: Hominids that take direct and deliberate control over the evolution of their species... and others.
Have a look at this very amusing presentation!
