Man-Made Fountain Of Youth

With nanotechnology, we could make tiny robots that repair our bodies on a cellular level, healing wounds, reversing damage, and making us younger.

We could infuse these nanobots into water.

Then create a well-spring that constantly replenishes itself.

Then forget how it works over the course of a few hundred years.

Is this what happened? Or maybe we wouldn't forget.

Maybe aliens or pre-humans developed this, and left it. Then news traveled around humanity, and people set out to find it.

What if we don't need to find it? Maybe we can create it.

Must We Enhance Ourselves?

Will technology become so all-pervasive and powerful that an ordinary, intelligent human being won't be able to keep up?

Are we going to have to breed ourselves stronger and smarter just to get by? Just to survive?

Or could we allow normal reproduction to continue, and then once a person reaches adult age, give them a few options? Like genetic enhancements, or technological implants?

I read somewhere that by 2050, if we're not "jacked in" somehow, like with a brain chip implant, we won't be able to comprehend the changes taking place around us.
