The document discusses 5 new inventions that could potentially end humanity: 1) Computer assisted memory that could allow anyone to access a person's entire memory archive after death. 2) Artificial brains that may achieve human-level intelligence within a decade. 3) A love/anti-love pill that could chemically induce or suppress feelings of love. 4) Flame drills that can burn through anything and be used to burrow deep into the Earth's crust. 5) A theoretical warp drive that could enable interstellar travel but may have risks from black holes. The conclusion is that if these inventions are not regulated carefully, they could turn humanity into artificial memory monsters without feelings and destabilize the planet through volcanic or tectonic

5 new amazing inventions that will doom humanity The presentation was made by the pupils of the 9-B form Group- Inventors Yermak A, Milayeva A, Saphonenko E. Nikitenko A. Educational Complex 5 Energodar
Aim: To examine some new inventions that will most likely revolutionize the modern way of life. To decide if they can bring the end of the world closer.
Computer Assisted Memory Computer assisted memory is a recent goal, in that the very idea itself didn't crop up until we started pretty much practicing it anyway. From the still far-off goal of silicon enhanced artificial neurons, to the shaky present- day experiments already underway that simply photograph your days and archive them in search able databases - computer assisted memory, in one shape or another, is going to happen.
How This Will Change The World: If you could remember everything no foreign language would ever get rusty, no keys would ever be lost, no anniversary would ever be forgotten and hastily covered for by purchasing last minute gifts at the gas station. With an archival memory system, even death wouldn't be the end; your every thought and memory could be accessed by anybody, anywhere, forever. No genius, artist or visionary would ever be truly lost again.
Artificial Brain Artificial Intelligence is a staple of science fiction thrillers Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, claims that scientists will most likely perfect the artificial human brain in the next decade. Scientists have already got the first elements of an artificial rat brain nailed down which, incidentally, might explain why the Internet keeps hissing at us and scurrying into the corner.
How This Will Change The World: The artificial brain will give the ability to solve philosophical questions how to treat mental impairments and even the elimination of pharmaceutical drug experimentation on humans.
Love/Anti-Love Pill An American neuroscientist Larry Young is operating under the theory that love is a chemical state like any other, and can be controlled as such. Young has also stumbled onto something potentially world- changing, because oxytocin has already shown similar effects in human patients.
How This Will Change The World: If you could just turn off the heartbreak with a pill or hook up with the first person you see all you problems would be solved. Also, emo bands would probably shut up, so that's a clear win.
Flame Drills A man named Jared Potter has recently developed a pair of flame drills that operate at temperatures of 3200 and 7200 degrees, respectively. That's hot enough to pretty well burn through anything, but rather than mounting them on the front of a spike-treaded tank and driving it into the UN to deliver his list of demands.
How This Will Change the World: If we're able to cheaply and efficiently burrow deeper into the Earth's crust than ever before, we can tap past the earth's crust to the chewy center, where a sea of molten rock lies waiting to power the flying cars of the future. The chief downside to using all that glowing hot earth juice as an energy source has always been location.
Warp Drive Star Trek is a new awesome method of space travel. The term "warp travel" generally refers to a sort of jury-rigged workaround for the physical speed limit set by Einstein's Theory of Relativity In "warp travel one would propel space itself around a ship rather than power the ship through space. Take that, Physics, take it all!
How This Will Change the World: The great thing is that interstellar travel could very well be a possibility, as the fundamentals of a warp drive are being nailed down by some of the brightest minds in the world right now. Truly feasible interstellar travel could well traverse that last great step for humanity: The creation of a global society.
Conclusion: If these new inventions are not thrown into the trash, well turn into the artificial memory monster without feelings who can make interstellar travel (where are great amount of black holes) and volcanic eruption, earthquakes and crusted instability on his/her own planet- the Earth. Yes, it will be the end of the world!
