This video is an example of clear impact of technology, and shows a future human-like robot. It's hard to recognize because it is very similar to a human.

The following link is to a robot proyect to encourage people to get involved on this kind of science: genetic engeneering. Take a look and see what amazing things technology and human mind can do.
