    Exactly, it's a matter of time until we have batteries that charge in seconds and have 10 times the capacity. A breakthrough like that will not only change the transportation industry, but will have wide ranging positive effects on the health industry and personal electronics. I think at this point we are on the edge of a major technological revolution. I consider myself extremely lucky to exist at this pivotal point in human history...

      If the singularity could happen before my brain rots beyond the point it could be uploaded, that'd be great too...

        I would consider it safe to say that we are the first generation that might actually have a real chance at living past 150. Of course I'm an optimist when it comes to this type of stuff, but judging from the advances in science and technology, we are definitely headed in the right direction...

        If we don't kill ourselves on HFCS, first. We'll also probably be the first generation where diabetes is the norm :P

        With the way things are going, diabetes is going to be the poor man's disease.
