personally I would like to see the human body become so efficient digesting
food we wouldn't need ass holes. the food would be completely used by out
body's.

Technology is a human's way of evolving. So I want to make the next step
and become a cyborg so I can have enormous mental processing power and a
mechanical arms etc.
(See film- 'Ghost in the Shell')
I think I'd keep the asshole though, because it would feel weird without
one. Maybe.

Well when you stop to think about it us humans have one sole advantage over
the animal kingdom are our brains. So yes technology is our way of
survival, however without knew thinking we could go the way of the
Neanderthals. Thus I say we evolve our minds. We should also develop
telekinesis, telepathy, and perhaps “pyrokinesis”... Don't pretend you
haven't thought about it.

that would all be cool, but i think if we could evolve our minds into
having super powers. i would want to be able to freeze time. not what would
be the ultimate of them all.
actually feral, it's the "dumb fuckers" that usually live the longest and
have the most offspring. I've seen smart people die of a single gunshot
wound, but have had some of the biggest morons EVER have a "revealing"
session of their scars from being stupid. The burns from over doused
barbecues, the bulletholes from drunken practice shooting, you name it.
They say god loves a drunk, but obviously god EXTRA loves dummies.....

I bet Darwin's laughing his ass off at the little joke he played on us.
Only the most intelligent and strong organisms can survive long enough to
procreate? yeah right.
If humans had been really smart, they wouldn't have invented technology.
But as for the game:
I could really go for some wings. I'd love to be able to fly. Or maybe at
least swim well.
And maybe some decent night vision and hearing. And whatever happened to my
sense of smell, too?

how about our young being born able to eat solid foods, walk or move about
by themselves? and with a shorter gestation? Think about it ladies, fewer
stretch marks and no sagging breasts.

I'd go with not being "born" at all, callei. Maybe budding or some other
form of vegetative reproduction would work here ("Stretch marks? No, I'm
suckering.")
But I'd opt out of the whole body thing altogether. I'd like to see us as
completely disembodied masses of sapient energy. No more gender, no more
race, no more vanity, no more "Have you been working out?" If you hated
someone, you'd hate them for who they are and not what they are. And the
only thing you could do about it is not talk to them any longer ("Nuke 'em?
I don't even have THUMBS, dude!")
Barring that, being a brain in a jar could be a fashionable runner up.

I think being able to hear higher and lower decibels would be cool. like
dog whistles or elephant calls. but being able to control it, like turning
it on and off.
I also think being able to walk on water would be fun. although it would
totally ruin the fun of pushing people into pools.

Telepathy - yep
It would be like instant messages constantly. Talk to anyone anywhere
anytime. Extend it a little though and it'll solve so many more problems.
What if you could not only send thoughts, but listen in - nobody could lie
to you - you'd always know who would and wouldn't sleep with you you at any
time - you could completely avoid idiots - no more guessing - no more
trying to figure out what the fuck someone is thinking when they do
something dumb - no more listening to girls trying to figure out the deeper
meaning behind a boy complimenting their boots - no more "do you think he
really likes me, or does he just want to get in my pants?"
Yep, that would rock

I have no problem with evolving beyond the need for a rectum and an anus.
It would make for a lot less mess.
I would like to be able to fly. Wings are so beautiful, but I wonder if
they would seem cumbersome on a human body. If we evolved the ability to
use more of our minds, we might be able to levitate at some point. Of
course it would involve the same clumsiness that comes with learning to
walk, and it might even cause us to lose the need for legs. So given the
choice between wings and legs or levitation and no legs, I'd choose wings
and legs.

yea, that could work, but think about it... no one would be able to write,
paint, sing or play... there would be no touch, no pleasure, no sex...

Angel, all of those things could be done mentally and emotionally. Matter
of fact, being a disembodied mass of energy would work for all of these
evolutions. You could fly, have telepathy, etc. I thought it was a pretty
good idea, actually. Also, how would one kill a mass of energy? We'd live
forever. Matter of fact, isn't that like what's "supposed" to happen when
some people die?

Like in The Space Odyssey series by Arthur C. Clark. The alien race that
left the black monolith on the moon and (for anyone who might have seen the
movie but didn't read the books) changed the proto-hominids on prehistoric
earth and also transported Dave to another plane had evolved past the need
for organic bodies to technilogical bodies, and then evolved past those
into beings of pure energy. They turned Dave (and later the mind of HAL,
the ship computer that went nuts) into such a being, as well.
So what if there was an alien race out there that had found a way to so
evolve, and was trying to bring such evolution to the universe? Slowly
preparing each sentient species on each livable planet over endless
millienia through the medium of miraculous machines like the monoliths?
Wouldn't that be awesome?

some sort of conscious control of glands would be nice. just think, feeling
lazy? shot of adrenaline. wanna fuck but not in the mood? bit of somethig
to sort that out. feel that you arent hairy enough, or too hairy? all of
this. control of the glands people. it is surely the way to go. at least as
long as we have physical bodies. i like monos idea too.

No, none of that for me... I want to be a part of the hard, gritty world...
To skin my elbow, to break sticks over my knee, to be able to feel the
resistance of water against skin as I swim in the cold river, the feel of
digging in the cool, moist dirt... To feel the burning in my muscles as I
chug up that impossible hill, and to feel the revelry that I did the
impossible.
Being a being of energy is too antiseptic for me, too clean, too safe.
And who would want telepathy? How would you surprise anyone? How could you
be surprised? Could humor exist if you already knew the punchline? And what
about those times when its best not to tell the truth, like when there's a
raving, angry ex-boyfriend wondering where ' that bitch' is at. Or when you
need to provide emotional support for someone, but your mind is really
somewhere else, but you stick by because you want to help.
