Iranian Missiles!

 Not a powerful as claimed?

But despite the foiled attack on Israel, Iran has been able to launch its own satellite with a ICBM system and it will be their preferred platform for a nuclear weapon, other wise they have an arsenal of smaller missiles for home defense and gifts to their proxies in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and the Hamas in the Gaza strip, when they can smuggle them in from Egypt!

The range of these missiles has gradually increased since the 1980's to ranges that can hit targets in Israel from Iraq and the Yemen, but they like the shorter ones based in S-Lebanon are not accurate and mostly miss their intended targets, but with time and technology this will change for the worse for Israel and the U.S. in the region?

With the changing scenery in the region, tact may change with more precise targeting of shipping, U.S. bases and Tel-Aviv, if not other in Europe, instead of what we already have seen and apart from International terrorism this will be the cause of havoc, destruction and the loss of a lot of life in the name of 'Allah!

High Speed Trains. Part-Two.

The Future for Every Nation?

It would seem to be the most popular idea today that every nation should have their own version of the well known and established high speed trains, but is this really possible? 

Larger countries have the space and the need for this type of travel, because their remain many people with a fear of flying that demand ground speed and comforts.

But some countries do not have the ability or the present need for such systems and perhaps never will have either? The Channel Tunnel between Great Britain has demanded that the European network be extended into HS2, thus connection Scotland and Wales with European cities. Similar projects have worked for Denmark and Sweden, but at this time both Turkey and Ireland, Iceland and Finland are exempt from being connected.

Many nations have done their own things and are perhaps behind in speed, rather than length of track age and perhaps see no need for anything further at the moment. 

Freight perhaps will benefit from high speed, over the vast inland areas of Africa, Asia, Australia and the American continents, but they will not be replacing cargo shipping.

Artificial Intelligence. Part-One.

Mans fear of A.I.

It would seem that there are a number of scientists and writers who at this time are trying to warn the world that A.I is developing at an alarming rate. They are warning that within 100 years Humanity could be extinct and replaced with self-thinking and repairing robots.

The Robotics industry has now moved on from automobile manufacturing to the various 'Asimo type humanoid machines. Honda of Japan has been one of the leaders in this field of robotics, but so has Germany and Russia.

But it all lies in the construction of U.S. Military self thinking processors that have been fitted to Predator and Raptor drones being used in Afghanistan, N-Pakistan and now the Syrian-Iraqi ISIL (Islamic State in Levant) front. Many other experimental types of U.S. robotics have been deployed in Yemen, Somalia and the Kenyan-Ethiopia region.

I want to look further into this and see the benefits of these Robots and why there are fears arising?
