In 30 years these will have weapons on the battlefield.


Well, and your favorite side will be offering to kit yours out to look like anybody you want.

Then someone will get permission to let you pay for first-person or pseudo-third-person streams from given customized combatants.

This will be a definite "personalization of warfare" moment.

Then special ops of the kind only previously imagined will cross the traditional extreme privacy barrier.

A group of teens will crowdfund a tremendously capable soccer/spec-ops bot that strongly resembles Christ Jesus. They will dress it in robes, swim it into the Spratleys, and it will emerge from the water, tie a crown of thorns around its head like Rambo, and then...it will be mowed down.

But this will only be the first exciting moment. I fully expect version 3 to make it past the beachhead.


Very optimistic that you think they will hold off 30 years


So what?
