'We can already use DNA, for example, to make electronic circuits so it's possible to think of a smart yoghurt some time after 2020 or 2025, where the yoghurt has got a whole stack of electronics in every single bacterium. You could have a conversation with your strawberry yogurt before you eat it.'

No Danimal jokes plzkthx.

Now YUO can download your mind from your crappy disease-ridden body into a kickass robotic superWMD android.

TERRIST ROBOTS ZOMG!11
 
....if technology continues at constant rate, the way humans are going it will fail.
 
yoghurt gah you people, interesting article though.
 
The world's fastest computer, IBM's BlueGene, can perform 70.72 trillion calculations per second (teraflops) and is accelerating all the time.

Obviously, but we humans have survived through countless amounts of crazy events and still keep on going like the bastards we are.

It's an accepted spelling. :D
 
In concordance with the RSPHY (the royal society for the prevention of hurting yogs) it shall henceforth be spelt Yogurt.

Like yogurt, I take the article with a pinch of salt. To get an electronic circuit down to the size of a bacteria is similar to the idea of artificial intelligence itself. 2025? more like 2250.

edit: actually, I don't eat salty yogurt. :O
 
I find that article very disturbing. I say we dismantle all technology and go back to the good old days of carrier pigeons, illumination through sunlight or nothing at all and clothes fashioned from anything slow enough to be skinned.

What I find more disturbing is that BT have a "futurology" department. Sounds like a cult.
 
I don't like any of that except for the talking yoghurt/yogurt
 
Me: mmm gangsta flavored yogurt

Yogurt: Do you have a problem with that bitch?!
 
Yup, I knew it: Chirs Taylor is a prophet and Total Annihilation is actually a cleverly hidden warning about the end of the galaxy..... :rolling:

If you've ever payed attention to the story of Total Annihilation, (great game BTW) you'll know what I mean...

If it could talk, wouldn't it plead for its life? That's just about the worst way to kick off a day...
"Good morning yoghurt."
"Good morning! How're you?"
"I'm fine thanks!"
"What're you doing with that spoon?"
<Cue lots of screaming with every spoonful>
 
doesn't everyone?

SkyNet started as yoghurt you know.

Ahahaha...thats pretty much what I was imagining :)
 
I don't think I'd be able to eat yoghurt if it spoke to me. It would be too creepy.

Question: Would the yoghurt be considered a single entity or would it be multiple different ones? For instance, could you pour the yoghurt into different blops on the ground and witness them all talk to each other? Or would it let out a bloodcurdling scream and die as it's subjected to what I can only term as yoghurt dissection?
 
I'd eat it anyways...

Yogurt: Please don't eat me!
Me: STFU!!!YUO NOT ALLOWED TO TALK
 
why would one want to converse with their food? why would you want to then eat it at conversation's end?.... if the yogurt had semi sentience, wouldn't it beg not to be eaten?

also if we had technology that advanced why in the hell would we use it to make something so silly, and then... eat it.
 
yoghurt:Hey ian
me: hey, yoghurt, your creepy im gonna eat you now.
yoghurt: Gofnar shofgun!
me: what was that?
yoghurt: nothing just a curse on you to have your penis fal off if you eat me.
me: sry ian jr. Im really hungry! (eats yoghurt)


well, u can predict the end of THIS tale.

You could program it to have masochistic tendencies.

Comes in flavors:
Seductive (Mmm... I know you just to slide my tasty form into your hot humid mouth. Oh, I'm quivering with excitement.)

Apathetic (Dude man, whatever. Life is, like, meaningless.)

Enthusiastic (Hot damn! I can't wait for you to eat me! Can you wait? Come on already!)

Violent (EAT ME!!! EAT ME, DAMN YOU!!! OH WAIT, I FORGOT. YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS TO DO THAT. I'LL KILL YOUR MOTHER.)

Heh, I wouldn't be suprised if that computer was in every household in 15-20 years, and the computers we have now are capable of being in a cell phone.

Strange world
