"Scientists in the UK have demonstrated a flexible film that represents a big step toward the "invisibility cloak" made famous by Harry Potter."-
can manipulate light to render objects invisible. So maybe there are still some work that need to be done to get the invisible cloak like the ones in Harry Potter but no doubt that with our advanced technology scientist can probably create one perhaps in less then 5 years. What happens when they create this kind of cloak? "Physicists have hailed the approach a "huge step forward" but to me this is a huge step backward because in my eyes new technology never end well. It is true that a invisible cloak can be of good use but what if a person of a evil intention got ahold of it. A person could steal and the camera won't even catch this person because he/ she was invisible. It is true that a item is not good or bad it is how it is used. A hammer can be used to nail, nails but a hammer can be used to wack someone on the head and kill them. I am not saying that it is wrong to invent this cloak because there are still some good use to it but I think it is better not to invent it. If God wanted us to be invisible he would have create a invisibility cloak for us when he created Earth. It is strange how almost all the new technologies might go agaisnt god, eventhough some are there to help us. I think that we shouldn't invent more things like these because we don't really need it and I think that we invent these type of new things because humans are to greedy and they are not satisfied with what they have now. We keep inventing new things and we never stop because we want to step beyond the boundry that is set for us in the world. This new invention will bring us backward and hurt us because this new invention so capable of so many different things if a person uses it in a wrong way.

A Huge Step Forward or A Huge Step Backward

First of all, we both blogged about the same news article so high five! :]
It may still take a while for the invisibility cloak to be invented. However, I agreed with you that if the cloak is used for inappropriate purposes, it may cause many troublesome problems in the society. Nevertheless, you then mentioned about how humans invent "these kind of stuff" due to their greediness. In my opinion, I think that, in terms of nature, humans are doing so to survive, or, due to the urge for a better life. Like all other animals, we do things that make us feel good, and do things that, we think, are good for us. As humans, we are not as reproductive as rabbits; we can't hunt like wolfs, but fortunately, or you might say unfortunately, that we are smart enough to invent. As a result, I think inventing is just the way we make ourselves successful (initially) in life, no matter what we invent.
