It’s the end of the first decade of this new Millenium. The singularity is at hand. The oceans are swelling and even I, your resident prescient sage can only imagine what lies ahead for us. For the first time I really feel like we made it. We’re really living in the future. Science is no longer something we have to go to. It’s not once removed from our daily existance, it’s now in us and all around us and the super science future of nano, quantum, robotic and bio is just right there , inches away.

5 Guys Who Can Replace Will Smith in ID4 2
A few days ago, Roland Emmerich announced that he has a “really good story” for Independence Day 2, a project mentioned years ago that has not really gained any steam until recently. A lot of excitement was generated by Emmerich with this new script, though there is one catch: Will Smith is considered a “gross player”, and Emmerich won’t do the movie without him.

And then there are those guys in-between, like me.

There is no denying the contribution these characters have made to a genre otherwise dominated by men, and this list represents five of my favorite star hoppin’, cyborg bustin’ and alien blastin’ women in all the universe. They are bold, resourceful, intelligent, sexy and tough as nails. I know I wouldn’t mess with them that’s for sure, but enough jabbering on. Let’s get down to business.

Robots And Rapture: The Shiny And Sexy Occupants Of Our Possible Futures
Robots are the ultimate Sci-Fi sex objects. While the human female can be as perfect, they come with certain disadvantages, like free will and a healthy suspicion of males. Synthetic females in film and television seem designed for no guilt attraction. Most are engineered to pass entirely as women, while some wear their feminine chrome in plain view.
