The advances in robotics and computer technology are Empowering people in amazing ways. Ray Kurweil is actually creating robotic red blood cells! These small computers will be injected into the human body to destroy disease. Diabetes, heart disease, AIDS and other biological destroyers will be eliminated. The technology of these robotic blood cells is also predicted to enhance human intelligence. This is just the beginning of what is actually happening and being researched for the future.

Amazing predictions for the future have been suggested. There is no doubt that technology in science will remove unimaginable limitations from the human condition. Life will be longer, easier and possible more fulfilling. However, the question for me becomes...are we ready?
Humanity still struggles with racism, sexism, abuse and other moral inequalities. If we are not clear and functioning in these areas, technology has many horrible consequences. How is society being prepared on an emotional and spiritual level? If Kurweil's predictions are correct, our capacity to love will no longer be a distinguishable human quality.
It is imperative to prepare for these advances on more than just a technological level. One of the ways to stabilize humanity in lieu of our future is learning to fully embrace our neighbors, foreign and domestic.
I think the future is amazing! Technology in science is and will allow us to live brilliant lives! However, I think it is critical to advance in the social sciences and spirituality along side of our material inventions. Empowered Peace is participating in the fullness of life, not just one aspect.
