War suits

Right about now I'm realizing that most of my interesting information about technologies comes from an internet source. I have to point out also that most of the most interesting talks on new, innovative tech comes from this website. (TED Talks) Onto my subject, War suits. The "War Suit" is just a term i came up with dedicated to America because multiple countries are starting to gain interest in this idea, but we are the only country, that i know of, who modeled a prototype after the video game Halo Master Chief's armor. Again, only a prototype, a drawing, a figment of a drawers imagination. The suit we have developed so far is far from the Master Chief, in fact it is pretty much the opposite. If your interested in seeing it; (Go Here!) This form of robotics has many applications such as Artificial limb's, restoring mobility to the handicap, etc. If you were interested in watching the link, "Go Here" make sure to watch it from beginning to end. I was just exploring it again for a bit and currently Lockheed Martin has produced a portable version of this suit named HULC. (HULC promo video) The Japanese also have a cute wittle version of ours, it looks like they put neon lights in a bendable plastic suit, of course that's just my opinion. The exoskeleton suits seem to be the way of the near future for foot soldiers everywhere, even Russia has one, or so they say, you never know what mind games those Russians are playing. I don't even think they have their own youtube video yet, psshtTT! If the Russians did create a working exoskeleton its proally made from recycled bike frames and pre-World War II swing sets. Enough joking about how America has the best exoskeleton in the world, It is.

Bio mechanics

Since the start of the human genome project, modernized countries have been funding scientist's to see how far human's can be mechanically altered. (Neo-Evolution) This video explains a lot of what i have cross referenced over many sites, and i believe is very simply informative. For People who have not heard much about this growing concept it is the science of genetically programing cells to carry out our commands.  Neo-evolution deal more with genetic altercation to fetuses creating a genetically modified population compared to people who have prosthetic Limbs/organs. Artificial organs walk hand in hand with neo evolution. These organs are already in business with medicine and have been applied to patient's. The future of prosthetic organs will be around long after any cells have been modified or programed. Veterans will always choose to have their legs or arms back. There is not much modification that can be done to a limb that isn't there however. Neo-Evolution happens to be our future. I can not explain it as well as the video but basically it is programming our babies to grow in a way to have more strength, more memory, be more articulate than their Parents. The video even goes further to talk about how our aging process can be halted, which makes it seem like were going to become Immortal's, but i haven't read the fine print yet.
