I've been interested in these science fictionish sort of things since I was old enough to know they might possibly exist one day. Now though, that they are coming closer to fruition I find myself wondering at the state of the world in a few years.

Within the next decade or so we will be fielding superhuman soldiers. Already, the use of blue force tracker in the vehicles, helps to keep an eye on the prize so to speak. Soon though, there will be similar gadgets and even full gps systems integrated deeply into the battle uniforms of America's soldiers.

The uniform will have a powered exoskeleton that allows the soldier to become anywhere from 25 to 35% stronger, and double their speed.

What I would like to know is your views on this. I am rather fascinated, and have been since I first learned to read.

Hello silvernutbar!Its peanutjar!I have always been fascinated since i was a little girl with stuff like this.I was kinda a tomboy when i ws little and still am.Wouldnt it be great though just just to put thing on,lets say its just a little circle thats big like a golf ball.A you have to do is click on this and it covers your body within seconds,nothing could hurt you,fire,bullets etc.Maybe even make you become invisible like in the movie predator.Your hiding in a tree and totally blend in,getting your victim quicker and easier.I would like that.Superwoman reicarnated!!bye..peanutjar.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I picture it more as a bracer or something you can wear, lol. I'm way too into anime and comic books it seems. The idea that what you're suggesting will become possible isn't too far fetched really, if they continue with nano-technology studies. The liquid armor, and some of the other things coming out will be using such creations. The idea of a wave of microspoic machines inside a bracelet that can become armor in seconds might even become a reality.. in like two hundred years.

Stuff coming out today is more like something you'd see out of an action/sci-fi video game. Liquid armor, data and health information on a visor that appears like a 17 inch tv screen. In a few decades i'll be looking to see if they add in a hitpoint counter and a ammo count. lol
