Cryopreservation, hibernation, induced coma

• A solution for critical injuries and transplants
We are on the threshold of new technologies to study the feasibility-less-distant pause in our bodies.

But unlike the dark intentions of the novel by Cook, stop our biological clock could benefit those with critical injuries, preserve donor organs for transplants, fight cancer, given the opportunity to develop into a future therapies for diseases today incurable or, as the authors dream of science fiction, sleeping during decades of intergalactic flights to wake up fresh and alert at the destination.

The wifi future: wireless life

A report by the consulting firm Frost & Sullivan states that the global market for chips for wireless networks reached 910 million dollars in 2005 and to reach 2,300 million by 2009.

No wonder: since the advent of wireless communication protocol Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) that offers high-speed connection wirelessly, users are increasingly opting for him as a favorite navigation.
Installing one of these networks, moreover, is faster and cheaper than creating a conventional connecting node.

Each point of Wi-Fi has a range of between two and three miles, and it can be accessed through payment, or free if one is free.
In this regard, municipalities and Spaniards are creating their own Wi-Fi areas of public access, though nothing compared with initiatives such as San Francisco or Philadelphia. seeking to install a free wireless network throughout the city.

Another alternative is to hire as a home network. with a router which is enough to connect wirelessly all computers and household appliances.

The future of this technology involves the Wimax, which multiplies your fingertips until 20 or 30 miles, and emerges as an ideal way to bring Internet to remote areas.

Dream of invisibility

Progress in this area are reported with excitement by several defence agencies. Some already funded studies on new materials capable of making invisible to ios soldiers.

na night December 1940, the engineer Edmund Godfrey Burr, in the service of the Canadian Navy, had a disconcerting experience.

As I watched with a binocular an airplane landing, saw him disappear so unexpected. After much thought, came to understand what had happened.
What was observing was the plane's black profile against the background of the sky.

The runway was covered with snow. The moonlight reflected from the surface illuminated white sea skimming the plane, eliminating the contrast with the brightness of the sky, causing the plane to be made invisible to their eyes.

The experience of Burr began a series of experiments whose aim was approaching craft with a light of the same intensity that the widespread in the sky.
Thus, its profile would be indistinguishable in night flights.

The evidence came to reduce by up to 75% visibility of the craft, but to advance the war, the priorities of the Canadian Navy changed and the trials were interrupted in 1943.
However, the military have never stopped dreaming of invisibility. One of the keys of war is not being seen by the enemy.
The concealment and masking of troops and equipment moving million in the research of the most powerful armies.

One of the most relevant results in this field is the Stealth technology. Machinery equipped with it have a color, shape, noise, electronic and thermal controlled so that it is very difficult to detect with radar.

What is clear is that the concealment total change in sight wars. "I suspect that the military are already working on the invisibility through the metamaterials", warning Ulf Leonhardt.

Indeed, some teams already receive funding from the British Navy, Army and the U.S. also is investigating military applications of these compounds.

UFOs and extraterrestrials, replaced by Da Vinci

The UFOs are no longer fashionable. Conoco its golden age between 50 years and 80, when everywhere arose ufologists who were engaged to investigate sightings of witnesses, the media was echoed by the most sound and produced films and TV series.

The interest was maintained during part of 90, but in the end not have been more than longing of the past. The best proof of this is that those who were engaged in body and soul to chase-and-publish articles and books today have changed the ETs by conspiracies or planetary pseudomisterios historical, such as those in The Da Vinci Code.

The poor aliens have stopped building pyramids to be replaced by mysterious civilizations esoteric.
What has become of everything? Esper-pénticas ideas: as we are being visited by 12 different alien races, some of them have reached an agreement with certain government-read, the U.S., so as to enable them to kidnap their fellow citizens in exchange for technology; aliens living in secret bases-where they keep the remains of a crashed saucer-and those who love strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music.

Gone are the animated discussions between believers and skeptics on what crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. The extraterrestrials, as the elves in Middle-earth, have left these shores. Already not interested, even sexual mind.

The UFOs, the same thing happened with the witches in the eighteenth century and the spirits in the nineteenth, have become part of the collective imagination. They were the fashionable myth of the twentieth century and, like all myths, has finished leading a belief system, almost a religion.

To eat them without desenvolver

A new product that helps protect food with an edible envoltono is being investigated by U.S. experts in food technology. Its appearance is similar to the well-known plastic, but has certain properties that make it can be digested by the body without problems. The protective film consists of two main ingredients: a fiber from manscos, chitosan, and a protein that is found in eggs, lysozyme.

Desires of being immortal - eternal life

In the second half of the century, the advances of the technology allowed the physicians to have an index of technological interventions without precedents. The life of the critical sick persons was never extended in form imagined, and the technology made blurred the dividing line between this and the other life. The teams of resuscitation have the capacity to return to this life to "dead" or almost dead people for coronary acute jam now, pulmonary embolism, rupture of aneurysms or you asphyxiate for immersion.

Created this way a certain illusion of immortality (Woody Allen "I said I don't want to be immortal for my works; I NOT want to be immortal DYING), the life of the moribund ones was extended with the help of the technology to borders that soon generated a contrary angry reaction.
In a polemic article it was expressed with indignation that to "maintain alive indefinitely to the advanced cancer patients it is condemnable", and you showed up to the death like the friend that it "provide a decent exit and dignified for a man in the twilight period of the life." Because truly the act of dying had become a solitary act, mechanic, dehumanized. And until YIlich one of your famous dictums rushed:
"The medicalización of the Society has ended with the era of the natural" death.

The body of the future

The prosthesis creation, devices and materials to restore organs and tissues of the human body revolutionize the medicine. Also, a new biomateriales type is glimpsed that will help to the body to be treated to itself, impelling to the cells to autorepararse and to fix your own tissues.

These are some delos organs and reserve materials:

The artificial heart
Without doubts, a central organ and about the one that more you are continued experiencing. You are several models.
For the future it is thought magnetically of suspended small bombs and fed by transcutaneous energy fonts.

You bleed of reserve
Although the transfusions are medical routine procedures and the safety margins are very good, reasons exist to try to elaborate artificial blood. You are more easily sterilizing, n requires to coordinate it and you are some religious that reject the blood of another individual. Although you are still problems without solving, they are already carried out clinical tests of at least three products of modified haemoglobin.

Engineering of tissues
You are thought that in him future manipulated tissues could replace organs. The engineering of tissues can be used to restore, to maintain or to improve tissues and organs.

Hepatic engineering
Affections like the fibrosis or the cirrhosis prevent that the liver can be regenerated, as you make it in the case of receiving an acute wound.
The organ lack for transplantation has impelled the design of a liver bioartificial that can be used temporarily. In these device, the patient's plasma circulates in corporal form extra through a biorreactor that accomodate hepatic cells and blood vessels.

The neural roads
At the present time, people with deep deafness can solve your lack through the implant coclear. But in the future, the patients that lack an auditory intact ledge will be able to receive implants that will be connected directly with the brain.

Electric implants are also developing that can be connected directly to the retina, to restore the vision. And they are in studio with results promising, diverse strategies to fix the spinal cord.

Sex - The technology is transforming the sexuality and the love humans

The tomorrow's sexuality won't only be háptica, but radically different to as today we conceive it.

The Club of Ámsterdam has celebrated a cycle of conferences recently in which diverse experts exposed your ideas on the future of the sexuality with the incursion of the technologies in our quotidian lives.

Many things have changed: sexual toys of last generation or the pornography in Internet advance at full speed, this last more and more potentialized for the devices hápticos that allow the contact at distance.

For the most romantic, every time you are virtual more weddings and the robots threaten to transform into our couples you stop a lifetime.

The Club of Ámsterdam, formed by a group of experts in prospective (you discipline that you study the future from a scientific and technological perspective), you have analyzed the future of the sexuality like consequence of the immersion of the technology recently in our quotidian life.

Not it is room for doubt that the technology has influenced in our moral values, our form of being related socially and, also, in the sexual relationships. The technology and the sexuality, also, they have made good you crumb from the beginning: the industry of the pron has been one of first o'clock in making use of Internet and in fact it is currently one of the most developed in the Network, where you have transformed into a highly lucrative business.

You have analyzed all the aspects and perspectives of this topic in the frame of your monthly cycle of conferences. Under the title "The future of the sexuality", the experts Marie-Luise Janssen, anthropologist of the university of Amsterdan; Melissa Turns, publisher of the on-line magazine Sexerati.com; Luc Salts, author of a dozen of books referred to cultural and entrepreneurial activities; and Mirjam Schieveld, directress of the Institute Summer of social sciences, contributed your diverse perspectives to this question.

Advance technological

According to the magazine Internetactu, the prospectivistas pointed out that many things have changed as consequence of the technological expansion:

The market of sexual objects of last generation has been shot.

The taboo of the sexuality has ended in grown-ups in an aged world,

New formulas of on-line (as the one that Second facilitates Life, virtual world of social interaction to which you can consent for Internet) pornography have appeared and

The sexuality mediática has been developed, that is to say, the sexuality potentialized by a mean of communication.

On the other hand, they have gone increasing the calls interfaces hápticas (connections that allow the contact at distance) that have transformed the sexuality considerably, especially those that cover the whole body.
The word háptica not makes allusion to the group of sensations visual and not auditory that an individual experiences.

In this sense, you are very curious the machinery devised by the science fiction writer Yann Minh of the one that perhaps, one day, everybody has a copy in your house: NooScaphe-X1.
In the magazine TO thousands tomorrows has been pointed out in this respect that a more realistic (thanks to these interfaces) cibersexo could mean in the future that people are less favorable to search a couple in the actual life.

But the tomorrow's sexuality won't only be háptica, that is to say that won't only be stimulated by the tact at distance, but maybe also radically different to as today we conceive it.

The direct control on the brain by means of special devices will allow us to stimulate cerebral areas related with the sexuality, instead of the sex organs or the erogenous fields of the body, the experts assure.

Also virtual weddings

For those that, besides the sexual satisfaction, they search in the technology romanticism, this will also contribute novelties.

On one hand, the American consultant's analyst Gartner, called Adam Sarner has predicted that in 2015 2% of the American citizens will be married in the virtual worlds, you publish the magazine Networkworld.

These online marriages will have the legal same implications that the marriages of the actual world, the same as the same rights, what will require of the revision of some laws. According to Sarner, the companies will also spend more money in the marketing of products and services for virtual people in 2020 that in the physical world.

For this analyst, the success of the online marriages it will derive of the possibility of having an emotional connection with somebody, although in fact he/she is not known that take care of you and to the one who to take care.

And affairs robotics

But you are not the thing there. An investigator of British called artificial intelligence David Levy, author of a titled book "Love and Sex with Robots" assures in this work that, very soon, the day in that people fall in love with robots will arrive and you want to have them for partners, friends and, even, sex partners or husbands and wives.

This will end up taking place because the robots every time they will be more similar to the humans, and with them we will be able to maintain intelligent conversations and to share emotions.

Although you sound to science fiction, Levy assures that you are possible.

In the last 20 years, they have left developing robots progressively abler of being related with the humans, and that this tendency will continue increasing until we can link ourselves emotionally, to love them or to maintain sexual relationships with them.

Such and like The publishes New York Time, Levy has written that the love with robots will end up being as normal as with other humans and that, also, you will improve the sexual relationships because with them we will "assay" learning things that we don't find in the sexología manuals.

According to him, factors that propitiate the emergence of the sentimental human relationships, as the mystery, the reciprocal attraction or the disposition could also be applied the robots. According to him, for example, these could be programmed to behave as "attracted" by an individual, and to act as you would make it any human in that status.

Also, another advantage exists: people will be been able to make partners to measure, as much as if you want to have a friend to exit or to travel, as if what yearn is a lover or a sentimental partner.

Technology to delete the snores

Dos of the technologies more used to delete the snores they are the radio frequency and the laser. Both are surgical interventions whose end is to reduce the size of the palate and the throat.

The laser shows up a strong drawback in front of the option of the radio frequency. The intervention with laser (a little less successful than your competitor), goes accompanied by an annoying and prolonged pain post surgical. The radio frequency use, on the other hand, bears minimum nuisances after the surgery that you/they disappear with the usage of cold drinks or of a common pain reliever. On the other hand, the radio frequency technique doesn't cause wounds neither you require internment, showing up at the present time like a good solution for the respiratory problem.

The treatment of the radio frequency whose more actual version is the named "coblation", is based on the application of a special class of radio frequency that remove and you reduce tissues. Your use, as much in naríz as in the palate, corrects the obstruction allowing an express relief. For it, you are applied in the affected field a tip that emit radio frequency during 10 or 15 seconds, procedure that repeat in three or four different points, diminishing the thickness of the tissues and increasing the muscular shade. The intervention doesn't last more than 5 minutes and you are carried out with a minimum of local anaesthesia.

The procedure Coblation achieves that the snore attenuates until disappearing in the following ones 4 to 6 weeks.

Nanotechnology - micro-machines are integrated to the medicine

The most original thing that afford the future is almost invisible. You are about machines that measure thousandth of millimeters. The American Simple company has already built a microprocessor, mounted on silicon plaquitas that are wired to a minuscule motor able to make turn trains a smaller hundred of times that an acarid of the powder to hundred d emiles of times per minute.

The gurus and fanatic of this technology they assure that inside little devices like these will be devoted to patrol for the sanguine torrent, perhaps helping to the white globules to delete invasive microbes.

More realistic they are the developed blood pressure sensors for Lucas Nova Sensor. They are membranes of 700 microns of side, wired to a minuscule padded catérer of saline solution that are inserted in the blood. When the pressure loses temper, the catérer the thing, the membrane stretches out or you contract and an electrical signal is emitted.

Bionic vision - artificial eyes

Undelete the view again, you are a very ambitious, more ambitious objective that to undelete any other body organ. To the applicants to develop kind of a bionic eye, they still have left a lot you, and the prostheses to implant electrodes directly in the brain like one makes with other organs, they are also in a very preliminary process.

The scientists got that a person to which were applied this developing treatment as test, saw points called luminous "fosfenos", (the stars that appear when being rubbed the eyes) when they sent you electric stimuli. With signals in sequences that drew forms, that person ended up reading letters. The results of this studio in the visual cortex of a blind person during 22 years, are very esperanzadores to develop a visual prosthesis.

The future objective, logically, consists on connecting a device from these features to a camera, and to a computer able to translate the images. but to marry chips permanently the brain outlines problems of surety. for example, one of the questions vugentes is still that you would happen if the metal of the electrodes, by force of supporting electric downloads, becomes noxious substances for the nerve tissue.

Even this way, you are viable this resource for which still exist a hope to undelete the vision of those non seers.

Science for the paralytics

In 1995, Julie Hill transformed into the first paralyzed person that stood up thanks to the 12 electrodes implanted in your dorsal spina. You could only be lifted four minutes and you were not able to walk, but the experiment was considered a victory. The challenge in this case is to reestablish the communication among the brain and the muscles that are healthy, but to losq ue the nervous message doesn't arrive. Today, you seem clear that are possible to stimulate them by means of electric small downloads.

The problem is that the muscles get tired a lot when they are stimulated and the mechanisms are not still understood with those that the brain controls and you coordinate the movement. These are abrupt and not very natural.

The most sceptical are convinced that one needs a computer with enormous calculation capacity and, at the same time, a system the heat that the same computer would generate to vanish. You are who say that, the day that settle this mechanism class, your own heat you would end up to destroy it.

But the neuter most surprising prostheses are those that seek to reestablish the sensorial feature of hearings and eyes.

the first, calls implant cocleares, you are, in the street from more than two decades. They consist on a very fine catheter, with more than 20 electrodes inserted in the interior hearing so that they stimulate the auditory ledge. The electrodes are wired to a microphone that pick up the ambient sound and a processor that it decompose it. When the electrodes receive these sounds, they respond according to the type of frequency and they stimulate the auditory ledge with more or smaller intensity. These implants settle in people to those that they don't have enough the habitual headsets. But although you are who have even been able to talk on the phone, this system little evolved is still if the 27.000 cells are compared for the hearing of each hearing with the 23 electrodes of the implants.

Evolutionary technology - Robots vs human

The Project University Millennium of the United Nations you browse the form in the one that the humans and the robots will be related in the future. One of your analysis scenarios, nominally seat in the year 3000, you were called The climb and drop of the Empire Robot. In that scenario, looking back until today's day:

The robots evolved as the humans and philosophers, jesters, political, speakers, actors, teachers, acrobats, artists, poets and the human less followers' shepherds became. The society had a new system of chaste, and the humans transformed into a tolerated race and somehow minimized by the machines that could scroll them and to improve them in any measure of force, vitality, speed and submitted. The argument more important fact in the application of the genetic technology to improve the acting of the mental humans and physically it was "we have to stay at the same time with the robots." With the resources being scare, the natural and artificial selection began to operate in a serious way, dispensing the available resources among those entities that were the most capable to exploit them, in your biggest part, the robots. How were the humans able to recapture the control? The answer was to use the human ingenuousness, the creativity, occultism, dedication and distraction. You took some time, but you worked. This at the end began to stabilize the population of robots.

Many discard such a scenario and they cross out it of optimist and very oriented to the technological propaganda. You are many examples of robots scrolling human, and the technologies integrated in the Robot Predator and the Missiles Cruise of U.S. they are highly sophisticated examples of artificial intelligence used to murder human.

Many fear to the weapons of massive destruction based on ubiquitous small robots.

Still without a malicious programming, the robots and the humans don't simply have the same allowance or knowledge, driving this to accidents: in Jackson, Michigan, July 21 1984 a robot squashed a worker against a protection bar in the one that seemingly was the first death related with a robot in U.S. In LongBets, a market of futures, is impressive predictions that are a self-defense against that the robots will be an element standard in this century.

Inventions that made history

... and the men crowded the brain to give with what you/they needed...
We offer you fascinating more information about those inventions than they refreshed your life.

Scooters: The careened skates and power with two or three wheels were the ancestor of current "Scooters." Fabricated to prtir of 1915 for the American signature Car-Ped, hardly if tivieron success in your moment. After Second World War, the Italian industry imposed this vehicle starting from the pattern of two wheels.

DeltaWing: This derivate of the flight without motor that starting from the years eighty have put on in fashion, you were invented in 1948 by American Melvin Rogallo, of where you took your first name: Ala Rogallo. You were triangular and carried out with wire tissue recovered by a ciliconas movie that allowed to fly without mechanical traction.

Quartz clock: The ancestor of the current clocks was devised in 1929 by the American - not Swiss - Warren Alvin Morrison, The first drives demonstrated to be not very reliable, since your operation and acuity were subject to accelerations and unforeseeable pauses. They were almost needed thirty years to manage them; that yes, they perfected them in Switzerland.

Bear Shag: In America it was manufactured in series in 1902, by Russian Morris Mitchom, and you came to be a conversion fetishist of the chairman's image Theodore Roosvelt, nicknamed "Teddy" affectionately. In Germany, taken place by Richard Steiff, the puppet embodied that same year the symbol of the you take care of Berlin.

Chip: American Jack Saint Kilby, of Texas Instruments, invented the silicon chip in 1958, fabricated with capacitors and transitores. From then on, the chip has experienced a tendency to the miniaturization. Some gather up to a million transistors.

Electric guitar: In 1931, Californian Adolph Rickenbacker, Barth and Beauchamp, of for yes lovers of the rock and roll, created, without knowing it, the first electric guitar. A guitar convencinal arose of the amaññar idea arranging a wired microphone to a speaker, located under the box of the instrument.

Very good inventions

To invent... this verb, next to the one of "living" is one of those that the man has conjugated with more fruinción from the humanity's same start. Here we show you another list, of auqellos inventions that without doubts, they have given a draft to your life cotiadana.

Computer: This term, used from 1950, designates to the mathematical provided instruments of electronic circuits that confer you certain autonomy. German Wolhem Schickard, invented in 1623 the first apparatus to add. Mark 7, first calculator able to solve equations, began to work in 1937. Created by American Vannevar Bush, you weighed 8 tons and you measured 15 meters long for 2,40 of width, and you solved supreme in 0,3 seconds and divisions in 12.

Laser: Einstein exposed the main laws of the well-known phenomenon 80 years ago as Stimulated Emission of Radiations. This start, based on the amplification of a sheaf of photons, you were investigated for the first time by the American physique Charles Hard Townes. This scientist, discovered in 1951 the possibilities of the effect MASER, initials that correspond to the Amplification of Microwaves for Stimulated Emission of Radaciones.

Saccharin: During some investigations on a derivate of the tar, the American Anger Remsen and Constantin Fahlberg, found in 1879, the first alimentary edulcorating agent of synthesis. Up to 1938, you were only marketed in drug stores and medical low recipe. Starting from that year, you were used as preservative in foods indistriales. Your advantages: you don't contribute calories neither hydrates of carbon.

Diesel motor: After establishing Beau of Rochas the cycle of four times in the explosion motor, the engineer alemás Rudolf Diesel investigated the reason of the thermal mediocre performance of that motor. You were as well as you conceived in 1893 and you carried out in 1897, the combustion motor: when pressing and to heat the gasoil, this explodes spontaneously in spite of not having ignition spark.

Zipper: This closing system formed by two chains of brackets that united when throwing of a cursor, was shown up in the exhibition of Chicago 1893 by American Whitcomb L. Judson. The industry of the confection applied this system to great scale from the years twenty.

Inventions super useful

From where does the name sandwich come? To who were you happened the brilliant one you devise depoder to play games in our television? Who did make possible that the owners of house udieran to cook those homemade delicious pastries? Here you develamos all the answers and other more, being about these other inventions that changed our lives.

Electric beater: Coming from the American cafeterias in those that the beaten cásicoas was served, this electric apparatus arrived at the kitchens of half world to pratir of 1910. Your designers, American George Schmidt and Fred Osius, saw how you transformed into one of the appliances more domestic poopulares in few years. The General purpose signature Company, began to manufacture them in series before First World War.

Sandwich: During the sessions in the tables of game of London, the hunger distracted the duke Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). This aristocrat, sent that they brought it between two in 1762, flesh portions or cheese slices of bread. This way, while you played cards with a hand, with the other one he/she could eat without aborting your departure.

Artificial satellite: Julio Verne exposed in your novels the laws of Newton's start: a body rushed above the atmosphere to certain speed turns indefinitely around the Earth. October of 1957, 4 the Soviets passed to the practice and they inaugurated the space era when putting in the orbit Sputnik I.

Video games: A simulation of ping-pong departure, appeared in 1972 with the name of "Odyssey", the first domestic video game that were devised was. Your created, Norman Bushner (that, animated by the success, you founded the signature later on Atari), manufactured an apparatus that worked according to the start of the screen of liquid glasses.

You photograph in color: Since French Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce invented the picture in 1827, to reproduce color pictures was the floor of all. The first in achieving it were the brutánico James Clerk Maxwell, in the year 1861, taking three successive images of a blanket through three filters: blue, green and red. Then, you superimposed the negatives on a screen. The picture in color was possible in 1903, when Auguste and Louis Lumière devised the photographic boards Autochrome. They were made of spotty glass of colored potato starch of orange, green and violet, to those that a layer was applied of photosensitive.

Evolution in the way of thinking

Taking from a global look, the curricular space of Biologic Structure of the Fellow, we can understand that the behavior is influenced by hereditary or genetic factors that are observed in the march of the evolution of the embryonal stage. To your you see, the perception and the sensation will act in feature of the environment. On the other hand S. N. C. you act and you process that information, given by these senses, through your receivers, the neurons, and you offer an Answer.

Among these, we find or we can meet with possibilities of neurotic answers or psicóticas.

In this system is also an intrinsic narrow relationship with the endocrine system, but specifically with the gland hypophysis, and through which you arrives to the Development, Increment and the fellow's Maturation.

Through these factors that are important in the fellow's life, we see an aspect in the one that like Bleger would say, in words of Lagache: ".el man is a man in status". for what Filloux contributes, as much as same Bleger that the man is historical, I sum up, only and social, and that this is called by Filloux, personality, the one that are variable standalone, irrepetible; and that to the fellow it is necessary to analyze it from two dimensions, a longitudinal (your historicity) one and another crosswise (the fellow's current moment) one that it take us to be able to observe a behavior and the why of this.

Understanding to the behavior like a "functional complex" system, where you are motivations, emotions, given by the psychic energy and that you help us to be able to display it. On the other hand he/she is the structuring aspect for that the fellow structures the reality to be able to act on her, as they are it the perception, the memory, the pansy and the language and that you conform an everything in the personality and you are it you make you to be this a being in status.

These psychic phenomena, they can be seen throughout the history, like forms of to think and to act characteristic of the context where they had your origin, without which we could not end up understanding them. This form of thinking, like in old Greece that put your interest in being about understanding to the world in higher beings' hands through the myth, with the step of the time the old ones began to understand the usote the reason in your answers, taking away from the mythical thing. As philosophers we can name to Such of Mileto that allocated to the water (essence of the water) the origin of all the things. Heráclito, Anaximandro, Anaxímenes, etc., they spoke of Phycis like the origin of the things (naturalistic philosophers).

But you take Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, among other, they had a different look, giving importance to a higher being, being this recaptured by Christian philosophers in S V for San Agustín, and in XIII S for Sacred Tomás with the scholastic one; during the Half Age the pansy of old philosophers is recaptured, since they believed these authors, as the old ones that ended up recognizing a higher being, with the difference that the church of the Half Age, named them pagans (Plato and Aristotle) although these last were recaptured respectively by San Agustín and Sacred Tomás.

In this time you can elucidate a pansy teocéntrico that showed and I characterize to a Half inquiring Age.

Going into in XV S, you leave profiling a new man vision, these are the anthropocentric vision, you reigned the idea of a man that could be happy and free here in the earth. You give beginning to new pansies, new sciences, the man is the center of everything, what allow you to achieve technological and scientific big advances.

We pass this way XIX S, where in Argentina there are radical changes, which can be glimpsed with the space Educational curricular System, where you give beginning the history of the education that at the beginning was full with obstacles until the organization, where in 1853 the National Constitution is sanctioned, and that through some articles, you show the education, and that you are possible to sum up properly you are during the period of the Historical" "Presidencies. You occur bigger importance to the creation of schools where, through the Oligarchical Liberal Controls, the Law of Common Education is sanctioned, the 1420la same that try of giving equality to all the counties.

This education necessity is given with more force when you arise in our country the bourgeois society that will demand more education, to conform the institutions.

A political social system also exists that through which will give us the educational rules that it are not neuter for the existing politics in the moment. An educational system in which leave configuring the papers of the education and the institution, to give you the educational boarding with educational, students and the contents. In the space Educational curricular Institutions, we see that an institution this normada through rules, values and laws that fix your borders:
1) articles of the National Constitution.
2) the curriculum.
3) Federal (or new Law) law of education.
4) the standards that govern the promotion of students.

Each school is specific, complex, multidimencional, pluri and interdisciplinary, intercultural, intermediate and integrative.

The educational one in charge of this space, made stress in that, the educational transformation is necessary, to confront the challenges that show up a change in all the dimensions, and a transformation in the form of coming closer to the knowledge. The social conflicts usually have a high crisis density in the knowledge, this makes that the educational transformation is necessary for the education and for the individuals. Today the difficulties of being educated find in the social problems that hinder the educational process somehow. In the world context, you are a globalization process, in this process, the school undeletes your importance of social transformation, and that you go her losing toward final of the XX century, but you take protagonism with the new conditions of the peripheral countries.

Before the information circulated alone for the schools, but today we see that you are not this way for that the technological means have entered in our homes and they make us feel illiterate. The scientific and technological knowledge advances in accelerated form, and who don't have access to this knowledge, they are reduced your capacity to intervene in the society.
The space curricular Problem of the Knowledge, approaches this reality. As this knowledge he/she leaves adapting to scientific new rules, to the paradigms, to the hypotheses; and comparing it with the XIX century, the positivism in which the laws were invariable where the idea command era and progress, and that you were glimpsed well in the class of Problematic Anthropological where you settled down that, the primitive ones could arrive to be civilized, as you were it the pansy of Europe and that of other currents. This anthropological science will have bigger peak with Malinowski who contributed to be able to study to the primitive civilizations from your breast and this way to be able to understand them, but you could not leave your ethnocentrism, and you add that you are well that these primitive societies can have an approach with the civilization.

Then authors like Francis Boas that it postulated the cultural relativism, for which you cannot compare to the primitive societies for that he/she would get lost the fundamental of each one.

The social conventional anthropology, was in charge of of publishing extensive monographs where all the aspects of the culture were revealed of having determined groups, starting from an exhaustive fieldwork. In those works the conventional descriptive categories of the free ones of the education don't appear: to know, knowledge, learning, teaching, education, socialization, etc.

This is without a doubt, product of the fact that, in these studied societies structures and formal status of an institutionalized education could not be recognized, and exactly hence, separated from other social practices.

The anthropologist R. Firth, when studying the tribal society, was in charge of of the problem of the networks and structures of transfer of the knowledge. You defined to the education from an anthropological perspective, pointing out that you are an exchange process with effect socializador, although you have not formalized institutionally and you have limited it to the family.

In the curricular spaces of Problematic Anthropological and Sociocultural, they have offered us a culture definition that are shared with the same authors, and that one of them is Durhan, ". the general aspects of the culture concept, they can be learned as a group of budgets that you/they are derived in the way that he/she conceived the anthropology your object and you defined the alcoholatura problems of the fieldwork". from this perspective, the culture is a context, you are an environment, a space, inside which can be described in (to be interpreted) intelligible way, social events, behavior modes, institutions, use of devices, customs or social processes. All these phenomena configure symbolic playable systems, that is to say significances that take get, underlying senses that the interpretation makes exit to the light.

On the other hand, the culture is a mechanism computer of the life of the social fellows.

Believe plastic but powerful that the steel

Scientific of the University of Michigan they created a light compound, similar to the plastic, more consistent and more brilliant than the steel. The material could be useful to improve products in microtecnología like microchips and biomedical sensors.

A group of American scientists of the University of Michigan could make actual the dream of any fanatic of the science fiction cinema when manufacturing "the transparent" steel. You are anything less than of a fine and light plastic as a paper sheet, but as resistant as the steel.

The material is compound for clay and a nontoxic very similar paste to the one that the children use in the school. Also, the plastic substance is biodegradable and, just as Nicholas it assured Kotov, educational manager of the investigation, your elaboration sues very little energy, money and you are completely ecologic.

According to the scientist, the invention it is ideal to design safe-deposit suits for military or policemen, or, to recover your vehicles by way of blindage. The investigators also recommended other utilities, as using it to reduce the required energy to separate gases in chemical factories, or to improve products of the microtecnología like microchips and biomedical sensors.

For long time, the scientists have tried to produce a material compound with blocks of microscopic sizes that could maintain your force. Kotov was able to make it imitating the molecular structure, as of bricks and cement that he/she are in the marine shells. "When you have a structure of bricks and cement, any blow is cushioned by each interface", the expert explained to the magazine Science.

The University of Michigan assured that Kotov already began to develop practical applications for the plastic compound that you/they could be marketed in one or two years.

Explanation of the Nanotechnology

The word "nanotechnology" is used extensively to define the sciences and technical that are applied to the a nanoescala level, this is some measures extremely petty "nanos" that allow to work and to manipulate the molecular structures and your atoms. In synthesis it would take us to the possibility of manufacturing materials and machines starting from the reordenamiento of atoms and molecules. The development of this discipline takes place starting from Richard's proposals Feynman (Brief chronology - history of the nanotechnology).

The best definition of Nanotechnology that we have found is this: The nanotechnology is the studio, design, creation, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials, apparatuses and functional systems through the control of the matter to nano climb, and the exploitation of phenomena and estates of the matter to nano climb.

When the matter is manipulated to the so minuscule scale of atoms and molecules, you demonstrate phenomena and completely new estates. Therefore, scientists use the nanotechnology to create materials, apparatuses and novel and not very expensive systems with unique estates


You interest us, more than your concept, what represent potentially inside the group of investigations and current applications whose purpose is to create new structures and products that would have a great impact in the industry, the medicine (nanomedicina), etc.

This new structures accurately atomic, such as nanotubos of charcoal, or petty instruments for the interior of the human body can insert us in a new era, just as Charles it points out Vest (ex-president of MIT). The advances nanotecnológicos would play this way the society of the knowledge with multitude of developments with a great repercussion in your entrepreneurial and social instrumentation.

The nanociencia is bound in great measure from the decade of the 80 with Drexler and your contributions to the molecular" "nanotechnology, this is, the nanomáquinas construction made of atoms and that they are able to build themselves other molecular components. From then on Eric Drexler (personal webpage), is considered one of the biggest visionaries on this topic. Already in 1986, in your book "Engines of creation" inserted the promises and hazards of the molecular manipulation. Currently Foresight presides Institute.

The father of the "nanociencia", Richard is considered Feynman, prize Nóbel of Physics, who in 1959 you intended to manufacture products based on a reordenamiento of atoms and molecules. In 1959, the great physique wrote an article that analyzed how the computers working with individual atoms could consume very little energy and to procure astonishing speeds.

A great consent exists in that the nanotechnology will take us to a second industrial revolution in the XXI century just as you announced some years ago, Charles Vest (ex-president of MIT).

You will suppose numerous advances for many industries and new materials with estates extraordinary (to develop stronger materials that the steel but with only ten percent the weight), new computer applications with incredibly quicker components or molecular sensors able to detect and to destroy cancer-causing cells in the parts more dedlicadas of the human body as the brain, among other many applications.

We can say that many progress of the nanociencia will be among the technological big advances that you/they will change the world.

Sex with Robots - sexual Androids

At least it is what the investigators of "European say Robotics Research Network" who (Euron) predict that in proximate five years the progress in robotics will be so important that we will have robots with an intellectual development comparable to the human and even higher, the robots according to the organism will have all the imaginable uses for the included man as sexual partners.

Apparently he/she has had so much impact some advance investigations in the related to the sex with robots that a moral upset polemic has loosened with regard to the topic.
Not I doubt that a future is possible to have sex with robots or machines robotizadas what I wonder you are like they will make the boys to satisfy your desires without being hurt (I refer physically) because honestly I don't see any "technical" problem in machines for women, but for boys I believe that you are enough but complicated.
