What is the main objective of having The olympics? Answer: This policy has two main objectives: • it strives to promote Olympic Games which respect the environment and meet the standards of sustainable development. • it also aims to promote awareness among and educate the members of the Olympic family and sports practitioners in general of the importance of a healthy environment and sustainable development. It is based on the principles enshrined in the The Olympic Charter (Chapter 1, The Olympic Movement and its Actions: Mission and Role of the IOC): • to encourage and support a responsible concern for environmental issues, to promote sustainable development in sport and require that the Olympic Games are held accordingly; and • to promote a positive legacy from the Olympic Games to the Host cities and the Host countries. The IOC policy also finds its roots and scope in the Olympic Movement's agenda 21 which is another major reference document in this field.

Cyborgs Are Among Us Already



While fully sentient robots are still not yet at the capability of becoming our overlords, the synthetic/human hybrid is real, and thoroughly terrifying.
People who have lost the use of their hands have begun to opt for amputation and replacement with a bionic hand. Using a human’s normal brain function, the hand can be used with great finesse – completing even such delicate tasks as tying shoelaces.
View the video below, and realize now that we are in the future.
In seriousness, this is an amazing leap forward in technology that’s already revitalizing the lives of those suffering debilitating injuries. What will science come up with next?
