Why Do Americans Fear Superhuman Tech?

Americans fear superhuman tech, survey finds - CBS News. I suppose we all tend to fear what we don't understand.

I am often chided with the fact that I would be first in line for a chip implant that allowed me to tap into a computer, so I suppose you can count me in the group that doesn't fear superhuman tech. In fact, as a lawyer, I see opportunity in every human endeavor that seeks to expand human abilities. Lawyers will have to mediate the legal disputes and problems that come from testing the limits of technology. Who can argue with a future that makes work for lawyers? In a more serious vein, technology will provide ways to ameliorate the risks and problems of our future human descendants, and might just provide ways to extend life. We should never be afraid of that. Do you want to read more on this topic.
