Evolution or Revolution?
As technology evolves, it becomes more and more harmonious. When you take into account
that television, telecommunications, computing, internet, gaming and even transportation
technology were about as harmonious as a guitar with rusty strings, its hard to believe how far
those technologies have come. Today we can listen to music, navigate social media and the
internet, talk to friends and family, and utilize satellite technology all without having to take our
hands off of the steering wheel in our car  which could begin to drive themselves in the very
near future. While technology becomes more and more harmonious across the board, we have
to ask ourselves what the next frontier of breakthrough technology will be. Our generation has
already found the limits of silicon technology, and tech companies are dumping billions of
dollars into R&D to discover new mediums to make tech run more quickly and efficiently. But
what if the next stage in tech evolution isnt synthetic at all? What if its organic?
In 2008 Fred Fandrich, cofounder of a German company named Blasticon, announced that they
were able to successfully reprogram blood cells. What exactly does this mean? By injecting long
strands of DNA directly into the cell, it changes the cell into an entirely different species. But
what exactly does this mean in terms of technological advancement? By implementing this
method, companies could reprogram cells to create textiles, fuels, medicines and even use
them for data storage (Enriques, R. 2009. Para 3). And while most people would gravitate
towards the research that utilizes this process to do things such as grow a new trachea for a
tuberculosis patient, or to regrow an amputated limb, other entities such as Intel and AMD are
already turning their heads toward biological technology to replace the silicon of yesterday.
Indeed, the potential applications for reprogramming cells are vast and with technology
working together in unity more and more each day, we have to ask ourselves if the next step is
for technology to not only be a part of humanity, but a piece of it?
(For more information about the actual process of reprogramming cells, please refer to
Visualization of specific DNA sequences in mouse embryonic stem cells with programmable
fluorescent CRISPER/Cas system. And yes, that was a mouthful. And also, yes, it is a dry read.)
