Every so often a couple of unrelated news stories come along that just seem to fit together, somehow. Yesterday I read about two technologies that are getting closer and closer to reality:

• Immortality only 20 years away says Futurist Ray Kurzweil
• The 4 legged LittleDog robot strutting its stuff

While it may be true that "Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future" there are some fascinating possibilities, and more importantly, huge social impacts here.
