The Five Technologies That Lead to Radical Life Extension

I have always pointed out that five technologies will play a major role in our progress toward radical life extension. These technologies are listed below and in my opinion for radical life extension to fail all five of these technologies would also need to fail and clearly that is highly improbable:

1. Biotechnology
2. Nanotechnology
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
4. Advanced Robotics
5. Genetics

The most important factor in my opinion is that any of the five have the potential to lead to radical life extension albeit by very differing routes and I have always felt that the likely outcome is that a combination of the five will get us to where we need to go. This year has been very interesting with a great deal of progress in tissue engineering and robotics and as far as robotics are concerned the clips below show how fast we are progressing in this key area.
