8, 15 seem like they will have the most profound effect on the most people.

A coupe of things:

- If I saw that DARPA robot, in real life, without an umbilical cord, I might shit myself.
- I'd NEVER get in James Cameron's sub
- I don't want my life extended by 100 years unless I can still wipe my own bum and play Civ
- A self-driving car in Las Vegas is a really big deal!
- CFBDSIR2149, so little time, so many possibilities
- If #19 is real, then Joan Rivers would have already been the first human to exit the solar system

Sweet Jesus it's happening!!  :o

Do they live among us yet??!!

On the one hand, I want them there to keep me company and help me to live independently in 20-30 years; one the other hand they scare the shit out of me.
