Which one of you plays Gonzo and which one plays Camilla?

A Contender!

No kidding just look at the size of my ***!

The one single thing that would scare the crap out of me are the Scion xB... Seriously... WTF?!

Youtube. Mostly due to this guy.

Torgo?

Anyway, the most amazing new thing, well for sheer WOW I would have to say Movie Technology. Now, a lot of drama/cop/love stories would be the usual actor driven but sitting back and watching Jurassic Park, Matrix or any other computer driven movie would be a jaw dropper.


Something that would really make you feel behind the times I would say Television. You go to jail and there are 12 Channels, you come home 40 years later and there are 400. You can now record your favorite shows, the picture and sound quality are amazing and its all controlled from a small remote. Also the kinds of channels that are out there; Gay, Music, Tech, Westerns, Travel, Weather, Monster, etc etc.


Something that would just make you scratch your head and give up, the iPod. Not having a previous knowledge of computers the fact that something smaller then a pack of cigs could hold 10,000 songs would probably make your head spin. With the way technology has advanced over 4 decades, we have been eased into media storage; Tapes->CDs->MDs->MP3->iPods. Imagine being told your entire Vinyl collection and 9,950 other records could all be listened to on one little device...

I'm going to run with the scenario that I'm a man who was incarcerated in 1967. Upon my release, does the internet confound me? No, because I had WiFi in my cell and I wrote emails to my congressmen for the last four decades.

Cell phones? Yeah right. Antoine had one packed up his *** for twelve hours so that I could order hits be performed on the outside without leaving the yard.

Cable television and movies? What, you think we didn't have a satellite hook-up back in the joint?

An I-pod? Look here, dammit, I'm a murdering rapist, not a thawed out cave-man. I'm not Rip Van Winkle you disrespecting motherfUcker.

Viagra? Are you questioning my manhood? I will shank you in the shower, if you catch my drift.

Nope, to me, the most mind-boggling, terrifying innovation of the past four centuries has got to be genetic fingerprinting. Having the secrets of DNA unlocked made rape way less enjoyable, and ensured I remained in prison for my entire sentence. Damn you science!

Advances In Cosmetic Surgery. The fact you can get literally anything done for your looks scares the hell outta me. Whatever happened to ageing gracefully? Now the baby boomers who are seeing their looks go ever so slightly are getting cologin injections and facelifts. Respectful people that I know that weren't getting uglier as they're getting older are getting wrinkle reduction laser surgery. What will happen in another 40 years? Will it be the norm for teen girls to have breast implants? Will there be 70 year olds walking around looking like they're 30? I guess the definition of a cougar may have to change...

Debit cards and the ease of getting credit cards - What? Just sign my name and I can go shopping for a couple grand of stuff?

Second choice is big screen HDTVs. I don't think there were even remote controls back in the 60s, was there?

I would say the Human Genome Project, the project to identify the genes on the human genome, its sequencing, store the imformation, help develop better data analysis tools, help with development of technology in the privates sector and address ethical question arising from their project.

This project, whose implications have not yet been seen, would help find new ways of diagnosing, treating and preventing genetic disorders. It can eventually improve the design of medication used to treat genetic disorders and acquired diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's Disease. It can also help to identify environmental triggers for diseases.

They have also used their research to also look at non-human genomes and study bacteria, for example, to use in biomanufacturing to replace toxic, artificially made chemical compounds. In animals, it has helped and will continue to help to develop more disease resistance animals and plants for large scale production and to mitigate potential crop failures as well as to have crops that are drough resistance and don't need pesticide.

They are using genes to understand history and the history of migration by looking at the sequencing of genes. Also, to further advance use of DNA in forensics and other ways of identifying people through their genes.
