Understand how yesterday's imagined technology is impacting our current technology base. Let's take a step back and look at "cause and effect." As we've imagined characters like Iron Man, Halo, and the video game Mech Assault, we wonder what it would be like to be in that character's shoes. These ideas and fantasies may seem as harmless as a movie or game, although they have impressed some people to the point of wanting to turn a dream into a real dress. The goal is to begin integrating capabilities in the next 12 months and have the first suit capability ready for field testing within four to five years." said Michel Fieldson, TALOS lead, SOCOM. United States Special Operations Command Uniti wants its operators to be protected with what it informally calls an Iron Man suit, named after the fictional superhero creators of films, video games and comics allow us to apply the imagined technology we currently have and use it to adapt and create. the physical technology of tomorrow. Stan Lee's creation of the Marvel character Iron Man is the ideal technology to protect our military by bringing more troops home safely rather than in a body bag. Little information to be found, it seems was also a casualty in the process of creating TALOS. This information causes great concern over how many lives it could cost in the suit's development stages. If they want to proceed with development they would have to take extreme precautions with the use of living human subjects. A good alternative could be to use a robotic human skeletal system for preliminary tests and not put human life at risk. “I'm very committed to this,” McRaven told industry representatives at a TALOS conference... paper ......ion is the source of our technological advances. Someone had to invent the iPhone before it became a reality, just like Stan Lee created Iron Man now with a mechanical suit in the planning stages. Given the advantages and disadvantages of TALOS, should creators look to the future with enthusiasm and wonderful imagination or stop creating and hope that future developments will appear without any sacrifice?
