New Tech

[spyder]

Hey guys, I find a lot of the new stuff out there very interesting and like to see what is coming of age so to speak. That is why I started this new thread "new tech", if you know of anything that is interesting, throw it up here I'm sure plenty of people find some of these new gadgets interesting. The first one I am gona post is this new personal roamer or whatever in the hell it is. You sit on it, and it rolls where you want it to go. One wheel, two pads for your ass and a couple of pegs for your feet. It balances itself. The lazy mans dream come true...


Does anyone have anymore information on these high tech lenses?

How much do you think this new off road segway would cost?

All this cool stuff and still no cure for cancer. Maybe there is, they just make to much money off the drugs to TREAT it.

Cool stuff, Thanks

Cancer is a much more complicated and complex collection of biology problems than the endless progression of electronic-mechanical technology. In some sense and some cases, cancer is a natural byproduct of us humans living far longer than our evolution has prepared us for. We've only known about telomeres for 40 years - it's going to be a long time before a solution appears.

Easy there. You may find yourself touching on something thats sensitive to others (like SixGun)..

I am going to wager that allot of us here have been directly impacted by cancer in one way or another.
Ive lost plenty of family members one either side of 40

Not all of them are blood relatives, so its not a genetic thing.

There is some promising cancer research out there. My dad had aggressive GI tract cancer and was put on a research program with an experimental drug. He died 6 years later unrelated to the cancer but the autopsy showed that the cancer was dead and calcified in his body, he could have lived to be 100 with it that way. They could have safely removed what was left.

Now, would that drug cause some heart valve issue or something later in life? No idea, which is why it takes these drugs so long to become approved. There are cancer drugs that will keep the cancer from killing you but will in itself kill you later from other damage. Bleach kills Hepatitis but I dare you to inject yourself with it.

I don't believe the "better money in treating cancer" stuff, there are companies dedicated to finding cures out there that aren't associated with the treatment pharm companies. The only difference between cancer cells and normal cells that surround them is the rate in which they split, which is why radiation works on them but making a medicine that targets those cells and not the healthy cells is where science hits a brick wall. You're trying to kill cells in a host body made up completely out of... cells.
