The Book That Can't Wait - Read This Book in 2 Months or the Words Will Disappear

"Argentinean independent publishers Eterna Cadencia released an anthology of new Latin authors using special ink that disappears once it comes in contact with sun and air, completely disappearing within two months time after opening the book.

“The Book That Can’t Wait” makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more promptly, giving first-time authors the attention they need to survive.

“Books are very patient objects,” reads the words streamed across the video’s screen. “We buy them, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books. They’ll never make it to a second.” http://mashable.com/2012/06/26/eterna-cadencia/

"Who wants a book that will self-destruct in 60 days? Turns out, Argentine readers do. Eterna Cadencia sold out of its entire first disappearing-ink printing in a single day. (...) The thinking goes, if new authors don't get read, they can't continue -- but if they do get read, they can find footing on a career path of writing.

"This time we had the guarantee that our new authors were read." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/jacketcopy/2012/06/books-written-in-disappearing-ink.html

What will the future hold for robots?

Considering the fact that technology is now doubling in advancement every 18 months what will the future hold for robots? The US government has placed a large bet on drone aircraft and is now perusing humanoid robot projects. Legislation has even been passed involving robots (on drones) so what will we be seeing in the next 20 some years? My guess is for robot rights. There is a huge push for AI development and many collages are starting to offer majors in AI programming. There is no doubt in my mind that we should be less afraid of a zombie apocalypse and more worried about a robot one. Unfortunately I don't see it as being like terminator where we will wage war with indestructible war machines, instead it will mostly be legal drama. The argument will stand with three main sides:

            1. Intelligent machines have the same rights as everyone else. They can think rationally and deserve the same opportunities as biologically intelligent life.

            2. Intelligent machines deserve some rights. They can think rationally but only because they were designed to do so. They are technically a form of non biological life but they are also a human technology.

           3. Intelligent machines don't deserve to have rights. They are just technology that is programmed by humans to process very complex information. They are not alive because with a single deletion of code you could erase their very sense of self preservation. There is not space in the budget nor on the planet to provide housing for a bunch of autonomous computers.

Well there you have it. Whats your take on the future of technology? What stance do you the in the robot debate?

MIT develops implantable fuel cell powered by glucose

MIT develops implantable fuel cell powered by glucose

Although the technology has been around since 1970s, MIT fuel cell is fabricated from silicon, using the same technology used to make semiconductor electronic chips. This feature allows it to be integrated with other circuits that would be needed for brain implant of the future.
