Week 13

"...The human species if living as if it had more than one planet to occupy..."

I completely agree with this quote! We're using resources left and right to just build more and more. It's gotten to the point where we're over consuming tremendously, and being the humans that we are, we just keep going and going, rarely thinking of the consequences that could happen.  Rather than being concerned with our surroundings and the effects that could happen, humans tend to live in the present and are just thinking out we could further benefit from the things around us.

Nanobionics aims to give plants superpowers
I found this article to be interesting, but a little disturbing as well. While I'm sure the intentions of creating bionic plants are good, it's just yet another way of messing with mother nature. Do we really know the consequences of these actions down the road? Maybe we won't see the effects immediately, but they could happen in the next hundred years and make a negative impact on the ecosystem. While I encourage technology and new findings, I'm still apprehensive on creating new genes for alive plants and animals.
