Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

First-of-Its-Kind Test Can Predict Dementia up to Nine Years Before Diagnosis
“The findings showed that the model had accurately predicted the onset of dementia up to nine years before an official diagnosis was made, and with greater than 80% accuracy. In the cases where the volunteers had gone on to develop dementia, it was also found that the model could predict within a two-year margin of error exactly how long it would take that diagnosis to be made.
fMRI is a non-invasive medical imaging tool, and it takes about 6 minutes to collect the necessary data on an MRI scanner, so it could be integrated into existing diagnostic pathways, particularly where MRI is already used.”

Here's How Hereditary Alzheimer's Is, And It's Actually Quite Reassuring
Well this is a little encouraging:
“Nonetheless, they state that even those with two sets of APOE4 genes from both parents may never develop the condition. “Late-onset Alzheimer’s is not directly inherited through faulty genes,” they end.”
