J is for Jobs Replaced by Robotics #AtoZChallenge

Forget about Trump. Immigrant workers as well as people living at or below the poverty line are in serious danger of losing what little livelihood they have. Same with the lower Middle Class. 
The Middle Class has been under assault for decades. Soon, what remains their jobs will be threatened also. How? Take a look at this video clip:
 

Question Do you feel your job could soon be automated and you're handed a pink slip?

Thursday K is for K – 12 Education and What the Future Holds.

I is for Inventions on the Horizon #AtoZChallenge

As always, thanks for stopping by and saying hi! I’m relying heavy on videos for this year A to Z Challenge and today is no different. 

Here are 20 very cool inventions in that are a work in progress but should be hitting the market soon and changing our lives for the better. Enjoy!





Question Do you want time to slow down a bit or are you excited about our ever changing world coming at us full speed? 
Wednesday J is for Jobs Replaced by Robotics.

H is for Hyperloop

Most of us have heard of this awesome way to travel that will be with us, at least in regional areas, very soon. A lot of buzz has been around Elon Musk’s version he wants to build between L.A. and San Francisco that would be a thirty-minute ride. 
Leave it to private industry to design a far superior product at a fraction of the cost than the state of California’s $100B Crazy High Speed Train to Nowhere.

But Elon 
Musk isn't the only thing happening. He has competition across the wor...

G is for Gene Therapy #AtoZChallenge

Gene Therapy A technique still in the experimental stage that will use genes to prevent or treat disease. It’s possibly doctors will be able to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells. This could replace performing surgery or subscribing drugs with terrible side effects. How this would work is ..... ah, forget it. I’ll let someone else who can explain it much better than me. 
Folks, this sounds so futuristic but it can become reality at least in part during our life ti...

F is for Floating Skyscraper #AtoZChallenge

Folks, this is some real crazy $h!+. Floating skyscrapers. Anchored by trapping an asteroid orbiting Earth. Tethering the two are high strength cabling. 
I’ll let this this one minute video explain this ambitious project:
 

You can heck out this article detailing the feasibility of such a project: This skyscraper is out of this world -- literally

Question Would you take up residence in a floating skyscraper? remember, this thing can travel the globe anytime anywhere.

Saturday G is...

E is for Extinctions on The Horizon #AtoZChallenge

For all the amazing breakthroughs we as humans are on the cups of discovering, the mere presence of humans on this Earth is a problem for a lot of species. But animals and plants do not need humans to be the triggering point for extinction. There have been five major mass extinctions where 75 – 96% of all creatures in the air, land and sea died. 
Many experts believe we are now entering the sixth mass extinction. There are species going extinct today that will do so without our assistance...

D – Deep Space Exploration, IWSG and #AtoZChallenge

Folks, we’re going into Deep Space sooner rather than later. Governments and private industry such as SpaceX, Virgin Atlantic and Blue Origin are gearing up to make a deep push to place humans past our moon to Mars and into the asteroid belt and beyond. 
People are already volunteering and training to make a one-way trip to Deep Space and work and live there without returning to Earth. But first colonies will need to be built. We can send water and supplies years ahead of people. 
But...

C is for Cyborg #AtoZChallenge

What Is A Cyborg You have seen them on TV. You’ve seen in the movies. But you’ve also seen cyborgs in real life. In fact, you might even be a cyborg. 

A cyborg is a being made up of organic and biomechatronic body parts. Cyborg was coined by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline in 1960. A cyborg can be human, mammal, alien or really any kind of living organism. 
Bionic arms and legs. Artificial eyes. Ear implants. All operated in part or in whole with technology such as microchips....

B is for Blindness Cures #AtoZChallenge

Blindness ProgressAnd the blind shall see. Really? Folks, there is truly amazing progress in this field. Nearly 300 million people considered legally blind in this world. Science is progressing in numerous fields to bring eyesight, in part or in whole, to these people. Here are just a few ways we could see (no pun intended) during our life time. 
Stem Cell Research Scientists are developing a method that generates key types of eye tissue from human stem cells that could help repairin...

A is for Asteroid Mining #AtoZChallenge

Folks, we live in very exciting times! Private industry and governments will certainly expand our economy into space where a treasure trove of raw materials wait to be mined. 
Why? Because we are going to set up colonies on the moon, Mars, the asteroid belt and even minor planets like Ceres and possibly certain moons of Jupiter and Saturn. And we’ll need construction material to build the colonies. 
Asteroids consist of oxygen and silicon which are the two most abundant elements in th...
