Makes me wonder what things will be like another 50 years from now..

Hehe, got to love how technology advances fast at times but slows before a breakthrough then speeds up again.

Hopefully in 50 years we will be rid of 32 bit.

Who knows where technology will be in the next ten years? 50 years and the world will be extremely different. The pace of technological advancement increases with the more we learn. Nice find!

I think its so funny to go read old technology articles about computers and PC components. Like about a new pentium 4 processor or something, and how the reviewers talk about how blazing fast it is. By today's standards it's slow as dirt, but at the time it was awesome. Makes you think about the stuff today that you think is awesome will be laughable in a few years.

how is it gonna kill you? the ones you see on movies are made to be scary... if someone were to make real ones i'm sure there'll be nothing dangrous... no arms for it to grab anything... no dangerous weapons and etc.
