Sci fi, catch up!
In this sci-fi stuff, do we really think things in advance? do we really prospect science? I already thought not, but more into this. They just developed a cheap hemostatic gel, good to pour generously into open wounds. That and the syntethic skin. That should be as common as bandaids in the near future... for all we know, even could be incorporated into the body. Not as a chunky dispenser implant, but as a genetic inclusion in deep skin cells, you know, sustainable focalized DNA alterations to produce and store the thing at will. Well, the thing is, am tired of seeing people bleed for good in sci-fi narrative. Shouldn´t had this been forseen long ago? Medicine is a prioriticed field of development, can´t be no more linen fabric strips, grapes and iodine. I should have seen this coming, and not in the shape of silly cyberpunk "skinpatch", wich reeks of Encinosism. All in all, i see nowadays science and technology leaping forward, and i doubt we can catch up. Yeah, we are not suposed to do that... the much spoken of "social warning" is the thing. But i fear the dreadded "Asímov´s calc rule". Beeing so blatantly and stupidly uncapable of forsee whats would most certainly be, and worst, the anger for not beeing informed of what allready is here. I never had a scientific formation, i get so lost in math and physics is embarrasing; and yet i must strive to be relevant in my futuristic extrapolations, or at least veritable. Of course, i´ll never be as ignorant as to say "gun barrels adapted to fire perforant, explosive and impact bullets", or to put a plant literally pulverized by a "virus" in second, or to say that a person is void of DNA -all encinosisms, if you didn´t knew-. I´ll try hard no to make "magical machines", but there´s more to it... i gotta make a difference. I gotta catch up.
