Watched Terminator Lately?

The robotic soldier of the future is here. Er, in Korea, actually. Which brings up the interesting question: if Europe continues to decline and innovative technology, particularly military technology, continues to be developed solely in Asia, what are the implications for the next World War? If a little tip of a peninsula off the coast of China can do this, what will happen when the full sleeping giant awakes?

I was watching an interesting National Geographic segment on the use of nano technology and the military.

It also discussed the use of genetic modifications in the military. Heat shields copied after beetles, armor from a synthetic thread based on spider webs.

fascinating.
