Our genes do not think, have cognitive skills, nor do they know how to change themselves, let alone for the better.

They've made some pretty significant advances with both sending "sight" information right into the brain and plugging up cameras to the nerves in the retina. Obviously at this point it's all for restoring sight to blind people since so far all they've really been able to do is very small arrays of 'pixels'. In another 100 years or so though, it might have advanced enough to be an operation like lasik to double your eye's resolution. All wishful thinking and I'm sure I won't be around for it, but it's cool to think about :approve:

It's very possible for something like that too happen

lol, I'm just saying technology will probably have some affect on our posterity someday down the line whether it be for good or for ill... I am trying to be the optimist here by saying for good.
