Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

What Superpower Would You Like? Teens Speak Out on Critical Issue...

*
Some student reporters surveyed their fellow students on behalf of the Deseret Morning News to find out what superpowers they'd like to have.
"I know whose superpowers I wouldn't like to have, and that's Aquaman, because Aquaman is by far the inferior Superfriend. Or, alternatively, the power of determination and grit, like Batman." — Ski Krieger, senior, West High School
"I'd want to be able to fly, because if you can fly, you don't have to be bulletproof or anything else, you can just fly away from everything." — Kelsie Court, junior, Viewmont High School
"Power of foresight and be a government agent." — Michelle Simon, junior, Lone Peak High School
"I think it would be cool to walk through walls. It would just be cool." — Melanie Hunter, senior, Viewmont
"I want to fly, because you can gain body strength but you can't gain flying." — Jessie Richards, junior, Lone Peak
"Super speed. I've always wanted to defy gravity and walk on water." — Tanner VanMeeteren, senior, Viewmont
"I would like to be able to fly, because I don't really like airplanes, because I don't like turbulence. I'd like to be the bionic man because I could run everywhere and I'd be in really good shape, and if anyone ever needed help I'd be there really fast." — Liza Lungren, junior, West
"The power of invisibility, because you could go anywhere." — Tara Wise, junior, Lone Peak
"I'd like to be able to shoot webs from my wrists, because I've already experienced super strength and it's not that great." — Andrew Bellomy, sophomore, Viewmont
"I would have Wolverine's healing power." — Teren Christensen, senior, Lone Peak
"I think it would be cool to be psychic, cause then you could always know what will happen to you and you'd always be ready." — Skyler Pettegrew, sophomore, Viewmont
"I'd have to be able to fly. Even better, I'd be able to teleport, cause flying is a waste of time if you can teleport. I'd control the weather and make it snow all the time. I'd be able to read minds. Basically, if you could combine the X-Men into one person, it would be me." — Nate Farr, junior, Viewmont
"I would want to fly, because then I could go anywhere in the world that I'd want to. And I wouldn't have to buy a plane ticket. Great way to save money, too." — Sarah Paulos, junior, West



Hum, Super
