lapal_fan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Do you think in, like, 100 years, maybe even less, people will look back on all these people dying from cancer in the same way as we look back on people dying form infections and stuff. As in, we look back now to the time before antibiotics and think "It must have been crazy to live in a world where you get an infection and there's a good chance you'll die". Or the plague. You just have to hope you don't get the plague. And if you do, you're ****. Will people be thinking, in 50 years "it must have been crazy to live in a world where you get cancer and there's a good chance you'll die"? Michio kaku thinks in 30 years time, we'll be urinating in toilets that analyse our waste. So you'll pee, and your toilet will tell you, you have protein strands that are the beginning of any type of cancer. You will then go to the doctor with a read out and he will be able to sort it out before even the smallest of tumours are formed. Source: YouTube Michio kaku, 30 years from now.

Stevo985 Posted June 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 25, 2014 That's cool. I've thought a lot about there being some sort of body scanner that can detect cancer, can't be that hard. You pop along for a checkup once a year and check if you're cancer free or not. Sounds simple in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Apparently dogs can detect if a human has cancer They smell different to them i read something about more and more being specially trained to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) there better be flying cars and robot wives. Current wife is pissing me off though, her indecisiveness can be charming, most of the time, but today its gone to new, irritating levels. Couple that with a colleague being an idiot and making me take through something for the 10th time which is frigging basic.

useless Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I've just listened to Hotel Caliornia for the first time. I can't understand how it became such a famous song, really awful. Apologies for my negativity, I'm sure The Eagles must've done some cracking tracks. Actually I'm not sure of that at all but good that must mean a lot to some people.

I'll watch when I get time, but the urinal thing I thought we'd already have by now. We still don't have hydrophobic clothing commonly available yet and I thought that would be years ago.

dAVe80 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Seen a couple of people on my Facebook had posted (although it turns out they'd been hacked) a video, titled along the lines of "most people can't watch more than 5 seconds of this video". Obviously I didn't click on the link, but the image on the link has really turned my stomach, and I can't get it out of my head. There's some sick ***** around!
