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.

Scientists Discover Promising Molecule That Restores Cognitive Function in Early Alzheimer’s
"After testing the effect of the drug WIN55.212-2, which interacts with cannabinoid receptors, on rodents in the early stages of the disease, the team found “that they behaved in the same way as those without brain damage: they learned and remembered spatial orientation in the same way,” explained Marta Moreno. “You could say that in some way the drug reversed the damage or protected the brain.”"
Scientists Have Proven It’s Possible to Bring a Dead Brain ‘Back to Life’—But There’s a Catch
So it looks like we're on the way to creating Frankenstein's monster or perhaps a "brain in a jar" that can be fed sensory perception of the real or a virtual world:

AI Breakthrough in Nanotechnology Shatters Limits of Precision
And this was also predicted decades ago to occur around now, with either AI facilitating nanotechnology or nanotechnology facilitating AI. It appears the former is happening:

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is imminent - Cognitive Hyper Abundance is coming
Oh yeah, we are indeed on that wild ride up the dogleg to the technological singularity. So this is what it feels like. I’ve wondered about that for decades now…and it’s here, right on schedule.
Researchers STUNNED As AI Improves ITSELF Towards Superintelligence "OpenAI have 'broken out'..."
Once AI can improve on its own design, there’s really no stopping the run up to true ASI:
