Understand how yesterday's imagined technology affects our current technology base. We step back and look at “cause and effect.” Because 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 trivial like a film or a game, even if they have touched a few individuals to the point of wanting to turn a dream into a real costume. “The goal is to begin integrating the capabilities over the next 12 months and have the first suit ready for full field testing in four to five years,” said Michel Fieldson, TALOS manager, SOCOM. The command U.S. Special Operations wants its operators to be protected by what it informally calls an Iron Man suit, named after the fictional superhero Movie, video game and comic book creators allow us to apply. the imagined technology we have now and use it to adapt and create the physical technology of tomorrow Stan Lee's creation of the Marvel character Iron Man is an ideal technology to protect our military by bringing more troops home safely. rather than in a body bag With little information to be found, there also appears to have been a casualty in the process of creating TALOS. This information raises great concern about how many lives it could cost in the process. development of the suit. If they want to continue development, they must take extreme precautions using live human test subjects. A good alternative might be to use a robotic human skeletal system for preliminary testing and not put human life at risk first. "I'm very committed to this," McRaven told industry representatives at a TALOS.........ion paper is the source of our technological advances. Someone must have imagined the iPhone before it became a reality, just like Stan Lee created Iron Man with the design of a mechanical suit. Considering the pros and cons of TALOS, should creators look to the future with enthusiasm and wonderful imagination or stop creating and hope that future developments will appear without sacrifice?
