Topic: Superhuman


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Superhuman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superhuman can mean an "improved" human, for example, by genetic modification, cybernetic implants, or as what humans might evolve into, in the distant future.
The concept of the superhuman is quite popular in science fiction, where superhumans are often cyborgs, mutants or genetically engineered.
Enhanced human refers to superhuman abilities some distance beyond the limits of humans, such as being able to lift a small car but not a tank, and is a kind of term for "light" superhuman abilities.

 CD Baby: MARZAKS: Superhuman
Their debut CD, Superhuman, features original songs from four out of five band members, a spiffy cover illustration by Eric Olive, and an 8-page lyric booklet with clever drawings by 10-year-old Sally Monnes.
Superhuman is an utterly gratifying experiment in joke pop and sacre bleu-grass, featuring mandolins, cellos, fiddles, drums, dumb vocals and killer harmonies.
From the first spin of the title track and it's glorious refrain, "Now that I'm superhuman, I can do anything/but I can't make you fall in love with me," to refreshing little ditties like "She Likes To Bite," it is clear that Superhuman is destined for cult classic status.

 USS Clueless - Superhuman intelligence
For though I don't think it is likely that the internet will make possible even a human-level artificial intelligence, it may make possible creation of a human hive-mind that transcends the intelligence of an individual human.
But when it does, most of us won't even notice it, because it will be lost amidst the great sea of mediocrity and banality which will always dominate the internet and consume the vast majority of its bandwidth as long as humans exist.
If a superhuman intelligence does appear as a human hive-mind, it may end up being a fool.

Would we even be able to perceive their presence in society and what if supers moved in superhuman time like flies or hummingbirds moved in the fast world and things of faster metabolic rate move but only faster to the point where they are nearly invisible to the naked eye.
It's a common conceit in comics that witches, wizards and mythic heroes were actually historical superhumans, but with the track record of persecution for such beings it would be understandable that they wouldn't advertise what they can do.
If there were superhumans in the real world, I'd expect them to be no more powerful than David Dunn, or else the evidence of how they've affected the course of history would be more apparent.

 Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad (not listed) jumped the shark b/c it was a total copy of Power Rangers.
It had a really cool-looking hero, robots and monster fights, but the decent action was wrapped around lousy acting, silly plots and cheap production values (the live part had three whole sets, four if you count the villain's computer room).
SuperHuman Samurai Cybersquad jumped due to its unpopularity.

The book-of-the-TV-series is generally a pretty uninspiring genre, but Robert Winston and Lori Oliwenstein's Superhuman is a notable exception.
Superhuman is challenging and thought-provoking throughout, but also enjoyably critical and controversial in places.
Superhuman is so interesting and such a delight to read that one hesitates to criticize, but the good professor should stick to the species he knows.

Gideon could presumably psionically scan the genetic makeup of superhuman beings in order to duplicate their superhuman abilities within himself.

Researchers at the University of Southern California say they have developed a system markedly better than people at recognizing spoken speech.
Incredibly, Berger said the SRS's superhuman performance is the result of implementing a fairly obvious feature that had previously been overlooked.
Berger, a neurobiologist by training, said he and Liaw realized that a crucial characteristic of biological nervous systems -- the ability of neurons to change their behavior according to the timing of input signals -- had never before been implemented in neural nets.
