[7]Craig Venter, billionaire geneticist, supports cognitive enhancement
[8]Craig Venter indicates his support of the goal of cognitive
enhancement, a core transhumanist objective, while discussing the
movie Blade Runner
Blade Runner was a landmark film that was prescient in anticipating
globalization, genetic engineering, and biometric security. It also
had influence in architecture and in movies and anime. It presented a
plausible future environment. It projected the ethnodemographic (more
asians and hispanics in the USA) shifts and that large corporations
would have superior technology to what is available to law
enforcement.
Craig Venter says:
The movie [Blade Runner] has an underlying assumption that I just
don't relate to: that people want a slave class. As I imagine the
potential of engineering the human genome, I think, wouldn't it be
nice if we could have 10 times the cognitive capabilities we do
have? But people ask me whether I could engineer a stupid person to
work as a servant. I've gotten letters from guys in prison asking
me to engineer women they could keep in their cell. I don't see us,
as a society, doing that
Ray Kurzweil's comment on Blade Runner:
"The scenario of humans hunting cyborgs doesn't wash because those
entities won't be separate. Today, we treat Parkinson's with a
pea-sized brain implant. Increase that device's capability by a
billion and decrease its size by a hundred thousand, and you get
some idea of what will be feasible in 25 years. It won't be, 'OK,
cyborgs on the left, humans on the right.' The two will be all
mixed up."

[22]Google phone would be free with ads and probably out in the second half
of 2008
[23]Businessweek reports that wireless industry consultants and
marketing executives with knowledge of Google's plans say it has been
showing prototypes of a new phone to handset manufacturers and network
operators for a couple of months Industry sources don't expect one
before the second half of 2008.
Combine Google's financial heft with its ultra-sophisticated
ability to target ads to specific customers. "The day is coming
when wireless users will experience nirvana scenarios--mobile ads
tied to your individual behavior, what you are doing, and where you
are," says Linda Barrabee, wireless analyst at researcher Yankee
Group.
The more than 2 1/2 billion phones in use worldwide exceed the
number of PCs and TVs combined. On Sept. 17, Google announced a Web
program aimed at advertisers who have created sites for display on
cell phones and other handheld devices. Like its online ad network,
Google's AdSense for Mobile delivers ads relevant to the
advertiser's mobile audience. Employing technologies that figure
out where callers are and where they're headed boosts advertising
prices by 50%.
If Google decides to spend the $4.6 billion that may be needed to
win the spectrum auction, analysts speculate that it has several
options: continue its broadband expansion, or perhaps buy a
wireless carrier, such as beleaguered Sprint Nextel (S ). Then it
could launch the first ad- supported, and free, nationwide phone
service. "Google is the first gambler sitting down with as big a
bankroll as the carriers have," says John du Pre Gauntt, a wireless
industry analyst for researcher eMarketer. "By playing in wireless,
they have caused people to look at the industry in a different
way."
