Are Humanity's Days...Numbered?...
.
“As long as there are Computers,
there will be Cyber Space
and
Cyber Life…
...and Avatars!...
...So that means...
...I might see you in Ten Thousand Years!...
…And I won’t have Aged A Bit!...
“In the Distant Future…
...Are there going to be
things worse than...
...Killer
Robots?
“I use to be Scared of the Future!
But ever since
I became More
Self-Determined,
Well…
…I Say…
…Bring It On!”
“It doesn’t Matter if
it’s 100 years or 10,000 years!...
…People always
want to go back...
and ‘Fix’ something!”
“The Future is Always
New!...
…but the Past…
...Gets Old
Really Quick!”
“Doctor Report is My Dentist!...
and
whenever he works in
My Mouth
I don’t Care about the Future...
...or the Past…
..I Just Enjoy The Now!”
.
“I went to a Sooth Sayer
and,
she said that
since
Hollywood’s a
Homo Cybergraphicus…
…He’s safe for another 100,000 years!”
"So tell me,
what are Your Plans for
The Future?...
...I'm
Listening!"
HSR really likes
Football!...And
He wishes that He
can make plays and catches
like this!
Whoa!
But,
the Team wants
him to
'Hike' the Ball!
However, many times...
it
doesn't turn out right!
He has to
improve
his Hiking Skills
if He wants to
keep having
fun with
the Guys in
The Locker Room!
This 'Thoroughly Enjoyable Episode'
for Today is
brought to you
by a
Jet Fighter Plane
that will
land like this
in
Your Back Yard!
You and Your
'I really like to see Pictures of Winter
when the Sun is Too
Hot Outside'
Smiles
are
just having Fun
in the
Okay...
...so the Weather
is just being Itself!...
But,
Let's see what HSR's
UP TO!...
THIS LADY SAYS,
"ASTRONAUT HSR...
I'M GLAD
THAT
YOU'RE VOLUNTEERING
TO BE THE
OUTER SPACE DENTIST
FOR OUR ANDROMEDA
GALAXY OUTPOST!...
WE'RE
READY TO
BLAST OFF!"...
SO THE CREW GETS
ON BOARD AND
AFTER SOME
OF THAT
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
STUFF,
WE HAVE A
SUCCESSFUL
LIFT OFF!...
AND...
...WILD BLUE YONDER...
AND AFTER A WHILE,
WE GET TO THE
INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION
AND SUCCESSFULLY
DOCK ON BOARD!
"ASTRONAUT HSR," SAYS
THIS LADY, "I'M SORRY, BUT
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
CUT THE PLEASANTRIES SHORT!...
WE NEED TO PROCEED
STRAIGHT TO ZOOMERIA CLUSTER
IMMEDIATELY!"
"BUT I HAVE PATIENTS WHO HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS
TO SEE ME HERE,"
EXPLAINS HSR...
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY,
AND
THEY WILL JUST HAVE TO
WAIT FOR NOW!" SHE
EMPHASIZES...
SO,
THEY EMBARK ON THEIR
ULTRA-FAST
'SPACE BULLET'
SHIP
AND
THEY ENGAGE
AN EXOTIC WARP DRIVE
TO GET
THEM THERE
IN A HURRY!
AND AS THEY ARE
MOVING AT RELATIVISTIC SPEEDS,
SHE SAYS,
"ASTRONAUT HSR,"
"WE ARE GOING TO
OUR 'GALAXION'
SHIP,
AND GET BRIEFED
ON A SECRET MISSION!"
"I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO
DO SOME
GOOD 'OL
'ASTRODENTISTRY!" SMILES HSR...
"SOMETHING BIG HAS COME UP AN
WE ARE
ORDERED TO
REPURPOSE
OUR MISSIONS!" SHE EXPLAINS...
'WELL, LET'S
DO IT, THEN!" SAYS
HSR, READY
FOR SOME ADVENTURE!
SPEEDING THEIR WAY TO ZOOMERIA,
THE SHIP STARTS TO
'ACT UP!'
AS THEY COME TO A STAND STILL
THE LADY ASKS,
"YOU'RE FAMILIAR
WITH THE WORKINGS
OF THIS SHIP, RIGHT?"
"I AM...SOMEWHAT!"
HE SAYS BACK,
"I'LL SEE
WHAT'S UP!"
SO
HSR GOES TO THE ENGINE ROOM
AND FIDDLES AROUND
WITH SOME
STUFF!...
"AWW, MAN!...I NEED TO GO OUTSIDE OF
THE SHIP
AND MAKE A QUICK REPAIR!" HE DETERMINES...
SO, NEXT, HE
GOES OUTSIDE
AND MAKES THE
NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS,
AND JUST AS HE IS
ABOUT TO
GO BACK
INTO THE SHIP,
HIS ARM MISTAKENLY
TOUCHED A CONTROL PANEL!...
...AND...
WHAT'S THIS!...
...THE SHIP TAKES
OFF...
...BUT...
WITHOUT HSR INSIDE...
AND HE SCREAMS,
"WHAT THE FAAAAAAAAA.....!"
AS THE BULLET SHIP
PEELS AWAY
FAR, FAR AWAY...
VERY FAST!...
SO, LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT!...
ASTRONAUT HSR
IS IN SUPER DEEP SPACE
WITH OUT A SHIP...
...AND...
ALL HE HAS
IS
THE
SUIT HE'S IN!...
"OH MY EFFIN' GOSH!..."
"WELL," HE SAYS TO HIMSELF,
"IT'S BEEN NICE
KNOWING YOU, BUDDY," AS HE
SEES A CELESTIAL NEIGHBOR
PASSING BY!
AND AFTER A WHILE...
HIS OXYGEN STARTS TO RUN LOW
AND THE STARS
START TO GIVE OFF
AN
EERY FEELING!
BUT...WHAT'S THIS!...
HSR SEES SOME
'APPARITIONS'
QUICKLY COME OVER TO HIM!
NOW THIS ONE 'BEING'
SAYS TO HSR,
"WHAT ARE YOU SEEKING IN OUR
AREA OF THE DARK MATTER?
DO YOU WISH TO MAKE OFF
WITH OUR
ELECTROMAGNICITY?"
"HI THERE!, WHOEVER YOU ARE...
I JUST GOT LEFT
BY MY SHIP
AND I
JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO!" HE CRIES...
NOW,
ANOTHER 'BEING'
NEXT TO THE
FIRST SAYS,
I DETECT THAT YOU, MISTER ALIEN, ARE A
HOMO CYBERGRAPHICUS!...
...IS THAT TRUE?"
"I'VE BEEN TOLD SUCH!," SAYS HSR,
"WELL WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO
WITH ME?"
"YOU'LL FIND OUT
SOON ENOUGH," SAYS
THE LADY...
AND JUST LIKE THAT...
POOF!...
...THEY'RE GONE!...
"Don't Prevaricate!... Then you don't have to Construct and Remember your 'Web of
Lies!" "
The Future!...
…Ready or not…It’s
Coming!
Coming!
And the Future’s
going to
Keep on Coming!...
…For a Very Long Time!...
But,
what can we expect from
Dentistry 100 years…
…and maybe 10,000 years from now?
...that’s an interesting Question!
...Please tell us what
Well, 100 years from now,
Our Dental Filling Materials to
Combat cavities and
restore tooth shape and function,
restore tooth shape and function,
will be
almost indistinguishable from
Natural Tooth Structure…
As a matter of fact…it just may be
High-quality
‘Lab Grown Version' of’ Enamel that’s
extremely Biomimetic...so that fillings
will Seamlessly and Harmonically
blend in
with Natural Enamel!
Within 10,000 years, however,
Our Oral Microbiomes and Cavity-causing Bacteria
Will probably be ‘Genetically-Altered’
by
Human Researchers
To render them harmless, so we
won't need fillings, and
won't need fillings, and
maybe Dental Decay will disappear
‘Just like That!’
(Snap!)
“How about Gum Disease?
And Lost Teeth Replacements?...
How about that, Doc…
Huh…Huh?...”
Huh…Huh?...”
Cameras...
...are almost everywhere!
...are almost everywhere!
Right now, and in 100 years,
they will cover
every square inch of the Earth!...
Even in our Homes!...
And,
to save Society
the Cost of treating Dental and Gum Disease,
thereby obviating the need
to treat or extract neglected teeth,
Cameras will see if you
brush, floss, and rinse regularly…
...or not!
…And…
if you don’t…
...you might get a visit
from the ‘Oral Hygiene Compliance Commission!...
They just might
‘Bust Down The Door’
and
make you do it right there in front of them…
...or…
...if you slip up too much,
they’ll take you to a
‘Re-indoctrination Dental Camp
...where… sooner or later…
You’ll ‘See The Light, and…treat Your Teeth Right!’

Looking 10,000 years ahead,
huge repositories of
Bio-compatible teeth
just may be the norm,
where People can have
fresh replacement teeth
‘Popped In’ quickly!
Our Diets will be way different,
with everything ‘SuperGMO Modified,’
and
MREs and JSDs
(‘Meals Ready to Eat,’ or ‘Just Swallow
Down’),
and we most certainly will
at that time,
be established in Outer Space
and on other Planets,
and,
to clean the Mouth,
maybe all we would need
to use
is an Advanced Contraption
that creates many, and mini
‘Whirlpools’ to get everywhere
in the Mouth Super Clean!
As a Species,
we may exert selective pressures
over many generations
to eventually 'Lose the Tendency to Develop'
Third Molar Wisdom Teeth anymore.

We already have smaller bodies
and smaller mouths
and bigger brain cases,
compared to our predecessors long ago.
Hey... we might end up
looking like
this
guy
after all!

The sizes of Our Teeth
may anatomically reduce in size,
since we won’t have
the Predatory Pressures
of hunting and eating Fresh-caught Food
from
the wild,
although if we remain on Earth,
and things go
‘Post –Apocalypic’ or 'Zombified'…
...all bets are off!

“How about Braces, Doctor…
will we still have
Orthodontists?”
will we still have
Orthodontists?”
I’m sure that Braces
which correct malocclusions
will still be needed
in 100 years,
but,
Biological Advances
will be made to
greatly shorten Treatment Times,
from years…
...to maybe months!
Maybe low-voltage,
low-dose batteries with
continuous or intermittent pulse currents
attached to the Braces
may play a part!
Accelerated bone reformation,
through the use of
Bionic Elements,
will be the key here.

In 10,000 years though,
Mankind may become
‘Homogenized,’
with all of us looking nearly the same,
with a loss of facial
and racial differences!
Plus,
we’ll be able to ‘DNA Out’
‘Crooked Teeth Genes,’ cleft lip, and
other maladies, including Oral and other Cancers.
It debatable as to whether
there will be Dentists around,
because, Robots will have advanced
so much that they will probably
do the Dental and
Medical
Treatment and Surgical Work
for Us very precisely.

But,
we have to be careful
about Computers and Robots!
Those contraptions use
’Machine Learning’ and
‘Self Software,’
and can build more of themselves
by themselves
on Production Lines!
Once they progress
to getting reliable self-supply
Chains and Channels,
and create Super Complex,
‘Pre-Neuronal
Algorithms,’
where they have ‘Rudimentary Feelings,’
We better Watch Out!…
…And…
…we might have to
‘Pull The Plug’ on those 'Bots!...
That is,
if we don’t get vaporized first
trying to disconnect
their wall plugs!

I can go on and on

about the Future of Dentistry, and
of things in general,
however,
a couple of things
are certain:

Cosmologists predict that
the Sun will go
Super Nova
in about 5 billion years!...
...Wiping out the
Planets
and
the Solar System
as we know it!
And, as Mankind is a Warring Species,
we will continue to confront
Ourselves
and
other Life Forms!
But...
if the Nations of the World
kill each other with Nukes...
...we'll just be
'Going Back'
to the
Cave Man Days!
But if that doesn't happen...
maybe 100 years and 10,000 years
from now,
maybe 100 years and 10,000 years
from now,
Someone will
‘Step Up’
and keep a
‘Head-Scratching, Zany, and Creative Dental Adventure Blog’...
...like this One...Going!
And…
…if that’s the case,
Dentistry will always have
A
‘Bright, Fun, and a
Little-Bit Crazy’ Future!
...Which will be
a lot better than
in the Past!
Little-Bit Crazy’ Future!
...Which will be
a lot better than
in the Past!
And,
10,000 years from now,
we might even have
a new species of homo sapien sapien!...
...Maybe the World's first
'Real' homo cybergraphicus
will truly Evolve!
Hear that, HSR?...
And speaking of the Future...
in an upcoming Post,
we’ll talk about
A Dentist/Bio-Astronomer
who plans to ‘Cast Out To The Universe,’
millions of Highly Technical,
yet Very-Loaded-Down,
Biospheric- and Civilization-Creating,
‘Human/Robo’
Pods'
all around,
like the Multitudes
of ‘Future Plants’
tossed here and there
by
Johnny Appleseed,
to 'Populate The Universe'
with Mankind!
