Corporate Armies and Their Robot Soldiers
A funny thing happened on the way to the war. There were no humans on the battlefield. In fact, there were no humans in the skies up above. In fact there were no nations. Private corporations are militarizing themselves with robots and these corporations will likely someday replace nation states in a Roller Ball scenario.
You will be amazed at the video below and how devastatingly effective are the robot army’s of the future.

Defiant North Korea fires ballistic missile into sea
North Korea fired at least one ballistic missile on Friday, which flew about 800 km (500 miles) before hitting the sea off its east coast, South Korea's military said, as the isolated state stepped up its defiance of tough new U.N. and U.S. sanctions.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the missile was likely a medium-range Rodong-missile. If confirmed, it would mark North Korea's first test of a medium range missile, capable of reaching Japan, since 2014.
The launch comes amid heightened tension on the Korean peninsula after the North rejected U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed earlier in the month in response to a nuclear test conducted in January and the United States issued fresh sanctions this week.
The missile was launched from north of the capital, Pyongyang, flying across the peninsula and into the sea off the east coast early Friday morning, the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Scientists closer to CLONING T-Rex
While dinosaur bones do contain some DNA, the bone known as the medullary bone that grows in female dinosaurs during pregnancy will contain a lot more DNA.
Lindsay Zanno, assistant research professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, said that it “is possible” that the dinosaur and its egg contains the necessary DNA – which is the building blocks for life – to take scientists a step closer to reintroducing dinosaurs to the world.
DNA is the building block of life
While the technology is not quite there to fully reproduce the likes of a fearsome T-rex, experts hope that the fossils they have harboured may one day come in use to resurrecting them.
Ms Zanno told Discovery News: "We have some evidence that fragments of DNA may be preserved in dinosaur fossils, but this remains to be tested further.”
Scientists are familiar with the medullary bone as it is also present in the descendants of dinosaurs such as chickens and female reptiles when they are about to give birth.

The T Rex live 68 million years ago
Ms Zanno continued: "It's a special tissue that is built up as easily mobilised calcium storage just before egg laying.
"The outcome is that birds do not have to pull calcium from the main part of their bones in order to shell eggs, weakening their bones the way crocodiles do.
"Medullary bone is thus present just before and during egg laying, but is entirely gone after the female has finished laying eggs.”
