Scientists develop biological transistor that can command living cells

Now this, having
not red it twice to see what it does say, has big potential, to my
one-read mind! I threw the comments below to The Verge
article page, and some, after a few minutes more thinking on it.
But..., as the
mind is prone to overthink,
it nevertheless has to be considered, being the overthink philosopher
I pretend to be, that such a leap - to connecting
micro-cum-nano-electronics
with the biological realms - is but the par-excellence step that
organic, evolving life, combined with highly developed Intelligence,
which some, usually narcissistic egomaniacs, suffering
anthropocentric delusions of grandeur, often presume Humans lead the
universe in, is in fact the obvious and perhaps even natural
progression life itself is
destined to make?
MaaaayBE?
Maaaaybe NOT?
Of
course, there might well also be the danger of this science taking
us, or our future clones, into the horror-future as depicted in the
terrifying future robots that come back to our piddling
pre-apocalypse time, as in big Arnie's “Terminator 1, 2, &
3” Hollywood blockbusters (WHERE'S ME ROYALTIES
ARNIE!?!?!?!?$%^&!?!?!? I'm the real-life “John Connor”,
see?) and end by destroying the old organic species?
But,
the present epoch of our own, assuming they ARE our own, and not all
aliens, are going gangbusters at rooting the planet's organics
anyway!
Begging
of course, the question,
“Is
life on earth, with or without the current models of Humans, gonna be
better or worse off with us turning into biobots?
The
answer may well be “Yes! We are making a better species than
what we are now!”
But,
present bitternesses aside, that is being too general, because lots
of us are in fact still really fabulous creatures.
BEGGING
THE QVESTIONNNNnnn...., of course,
“How
do we expunge the bad apples – I DIDN'T SAY JEWS! - from the global
mix?
Zo!
Here's my comment to The Verge article linked atop in their
title....,

A? Yeah! Can I
volunteer to be a (computer) crash test dumbie?
I’m already a
dumbie, and at 58, are near needing new bits, or repaired ones.
Howvaaar! Media
makes small leaps huge in our minds.
Yeah! Keep
researching and developing, f’sure!
But even once
it’s tested and on the market, what percentage of the species will
be in reach? No doubt, millions and more could benefit if health
issues can be resolved this way, but we probably must expect a
40-to-60 year gap from now until it comes close to well known? (But,
what do I know?)
Being tired of
the species, for a peculiar life in a more peculiar country (a
severely retarded Christian Astrayliar!), the thought of humans
becoming bionic once offended me.
But now, the
idea, were it applicable on large scales, tested to not turn into “I,
Robot” or “Real Humans” scenarios, appeals, especially if these
initial creations can grow to enhance a post-biology-only type, while
still having the intellectual, thus moral and ethical functions of we
humble ones.
If it is as good
as first hoped, and suggested, perhaps governments are better
shifting funds from military development and arming, to this?
AaaaanD..., mainstream media henceforth RACE to get an "exclusive" on this scientific leap news!
NOTE to "The Verge"! SUE 'EM, if they claim their report as an exclusive! Wanna share the payout?

Praise the Immortals!
