trabajos de intermediario, haciendo inventarios y recuentos. Esto significa que los representantes, corredores, dependientes, contables, etcétera, serán despedidos gradualmente a medida que sus puestos de trabajo vayan desapareciendo. Estos empleos se encuadran en lo que se llama «la fricción del capitalismo». Ahora mismo ya es posible comprar un billete de avión buscando en la web los mejores precios, prescindiendo del agente de viajes.

En otras palabras, los ordenadores superrápidos del futuro serán como sabios autistas, es decir, podrán memorizar amplias cantidades de información, pero no podrán hacer mucho más y serán incapaces de sobrevivir por sus propios medios en el mundo real.

Los hologramas son láminas de plástico bidimensionales que han sido especialmente codificadas con la imagen de un objeto tridimensional. Al iluminar una con un rayo láser, esta imagen aparece de pronto. En otras palabras, toda la información necesaria para crear una imagen tridimensional ha sido codificada en una lámina plana, bidimensional, con el uso de láseres

Sorprendentemente, se puede introducir directamente en una neurona, con precisión quirúrgica, un gen sensible a la luz que hace que la célula se dispare. A continuación, se enciende el haz de luz y la neurona se activa. Y, lo que es más importante, esto permite a los científicos excitar esos recorridos, de manera que pueden activar y desactivar determinados comportamientos con pulsar un interruptor.

It is impossible to imagine the height to which may be carried, in a thousand years, the power of man over matter. We may perhaps learn to deprive large masses of their gravity, and give them absolute levity, for the sake of easy transport. Agriculture may diminish its labor and double its produce; all diseases may by sure means be prevented or cured, not excepting even that of old age, and our lives lengthened at pleasure even beyond the antediluvian standard.

Acaso los robots heredarán la Tierra? Sí, pero serán nuestros hijos. MARVIN MINSKY

Scientists can now instantly determine how certain parts of the brain are hooked up with other parts.

Every year, new uses for deep brain stimulation are being found. In fact, nearly all the major disorders of the brain are being reexamined in light of this and other new brain-scanning technologies. This promises to be an exciting new area for diagnosing and even treating illnesses.

In conclusion, negative energy does exist, and if enough negative energy could somehow be collected, we could, in principle, create a wormhole machine or a warp drive engine, fulfilling some of the wildest fantasies of science fiction.

cuando se produce un conflicto entre la tecnología moderna y los deseos de nuestros primitivos antepasados, los deseos primitivos siempre ganan. Este es el Principio del Hombre de las Cavernas.

el hito siguiente en la historia de la IA: aplicar una ingeniería inversa al cerebro humano.

The corollary to the Cave Man Principle is that if you want to predict the social interactions of humans in the future, simply imagine our social interactions 100,000 years ago and multiply by a billion. This means there will be a premium placed on gossip, social networking, and entertainment

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right. —LARRY NIVEN

To create silicon chips, UV light is passed through a template that contains the blueprint for all the circuits on a chip. The UV light and a series of chemical reactions creates a pattern that is etched onto a silicon wafer, creating transistors on the chip.

possible for astronauts to lift impossibly heavy objects with ease.

By mentally activating the power source, you can grab lightsabers from across the room with today's technology.

El reconocimiento de patrones, como ya hemos visto, es uno de los principales obstáculos para la inteligencia artificial.

starships of the future may have to spin, creating an artificial gravity via centrifugal forces in order to sustain human life.

Graphene consists of a single molecular layer of carbon atoms tightly bonded to form an ultra-thin, ultra-durable sheet. It is almost transparent and weighs practically nothing, yet is the toughest material known to science—two hundred times stronger than steel and stronger even than diamonds. In principle, you could balance an elephant on a pencil and then place the pencil point on a sheet of graphene without breaking or tearing it. As a bonus, graphene also conducts electricity.

will we no longer be the most intelligent being on earth

In 2017, the Pentagon announced a $65 million grant to develop a tiny, advanced chip that can analyze a million human neurons as the brain communicates with a computer and forms memories.

are skilled in the techniques necessary to neutralize any rogue robot.
