Hasn't he seen all the movies where the creations gain intelligence, become evil and kill their creator?

Lankycarrotboy (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Whoa! It's alive!He invented life!

Yeah, there's an the emporer has no clothes element to this. These are NOT animals. This is NOT life. They have NO brain. He has done some very good & inventive engineering and it IS interesting, however this TED audience goes overboard in being enthralled with guests sometimes. You can get too wrapped up in your sense of self importance and actually become limited in your thinking if you get too much into your TED "club". They showed this proclivication with Sarah Silverman unfortunately.

Ladies and Gentleman please educate yourselves about technology! It is just pressure pipes with air, water and electricity. That is all, we had this technology since 1700's

Homosexual activists understand the power of words.Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
