First off I think that bionic exoskeleton propulsion thing was sick as hell! I think UH should buy 10,000 of the prototype test suits for trial, testing and evaluation. With the idea of the long now, I think it's crazy to think we can even remotely predict what life will be like 10,000 years from now. With all the possible futures that we may be anticipating and all the possible forks in the road we will encounter with the rate of change at which the world has been accelerating, (especially with this bionic exoskeleton idea) the future will definitely be exciting to see. It's kind of crazy to think the future is already here as we communicate through cell phones, laptops and the numerous other innovations of technology that was originally thought of in comic books and sci fi movies/books and originally thought of to be ridiculous.
