Flying robot bugs have shown up before in books and movies. Soon they'll be for real. Via KurzweilAI:
"Unmanned aircraft maker AeroVironment has received an additional $5.4 million from DARPA to further develop a diminutive aircraft that can fly into tight spaces undetected, perch, and send live surveillance information to its handlers."
DARPA also funds a live flying bug experiment - a giant flower beetle with implanted electrodes and a radio receiver on its back can be wirelessly controlled to fly wherever the controllers decide. A cyborg beetle. Now that's creepy.
About Me
- VOKL - Voice Of Ken Lawton
- VOKL is my self-assigned nom-de-blog in the format of a Newfoundland radio call sign. It gives me a name for my voice. And when you say it out loud it's vocal. See? VOKL. This may also reveal a subconcious desire to punnish my readers. I hope you understand. Anyway it's my blog. Start your own blog.

Looking at this graph how can we believe temperature is driven by CO2? We can't.
