I found two articles (Coincidentally, adjacent to each other) in the science and technology section of Google news that made me think a lot about the 'Power' of human beings. One of the articles talked about the invention of a robot that can 'learn' on its own. I got a very creepy feeling on learning that we humans have 'Matured' to develop a robot that can learn by itself. Do we really understand the consequences of such an invention? Are we talking about giving the robots a 'brain' to think on its own?Are we trying to play God here?
The other article talked about the discovery of close to 150 new species of animals in places "We humans" thought as uninhabitable. Various fishes & other animals were found in places like under hot thermal vent, in darkest & deepest of regions of sea. We had believed all these days that no living being can survive in these harsh conditions but we were proved wrong. The first thing that came to my mind is about the book 'God's Debris'. In one of the chapters, the protagonist makes fun about the fallacy in human thinking that makes us think that humans are the only "Intelligent" species on earth.
Are humans the 'Most' intelligent? Are humans "All knowing"?
Too many questions. So little answers...........

I do check your blogs frequently. You are doing good job. Come out with something as exciting as some of them that you have already posted
Thanks batchee........ That was really good of U to say that. It would surely act as a 'Tonic' for me to post more articles
Nicely written (as usual) ! Pretty interesting and the point of "humans" thinking themselves as the only intelligent being is over everyone's mind and thats the reason we take lot of things for granted. Keep the articles coming ! Great Work :-).
nice article worth the wait I guess. Hey have you watched "AI" and "I Robot"? these films hypothesize one of your questions.
