So one of the things that I have been seeing a lot in the news has
been "bionic technology". They already have a real bionic arm for
paraplegics that gives them real world operability and functionality.
There are bionic frames that soldiers may be outfitted with in the near
future, offering them near super-human strength.
I mean, this
stuff is really, really cool! It's like what you would have read about
in comic books 30 years ago, except it is becoming reality. A commando
able to swing from building to building always seemed like something
out of a cheesy action movie from the 1980s, but even now that is not
nearly as ridiculous as it used to be.
Recently on Engadget there as a story about another cool technology
that I first remember reading about in a game. It was "Snatcher", one
of the other lesser-known great games from Kojima-san. I believe there
was a bit of the story that talked about nanobots being injected into
the blood stream in order to heal a wound quicker.
Again,
something that really did sound like it fit in a science fiction movie,
yet here we are... a few short steps away from making hemophilia a
thing of the past.
Now all we need to do is learn how to revive
dead dictators and our story is complete... er... then again, maybe
that is one piece of the puzzle that we shouldn't try to pursue!

Computer Book
I can remember watching Inspector Gadget as a kid thinking, "Wow, Penny's computer book is so cool. Too bad that'll never ever happen." But now, who doesn't have a laptop? These days, you can't disregard anything that's science fiction because about 20 years after the idea is formed, someone will be working hard on making it a reality.Who knows what will be invented just 10 years from now. Ninja turtles? Kuato? The Spread gun from Contra? Duke Nukem Forever?

Personally, I'd like a bionic afro like the one Gearoid has.No rest for the wiry
Ben Bova wrote a book in which a character wore an invisibility suit that incorporated millions of nano-sized cameras that reflect what the suit-wearer is obstructing. These cameras enabled the viewer to actually see behind and in a sense through the person wearing the invisibility suit. I think this concept is similar to what Kojima-san has done with Snake’s stealth camo.Is it possible that R.A.D. Spencer may assimilate this type of technology? Better yet, maybe the suit can be fashioned into a knee-length, pleated tartan skirt worn by none other than the Generalissimo “Kilt”.
