Starship or Noah's Ark: Mars or Heaven

Starship is the creation of a rocket, by Elon Musk, to transport all lifeforms to Mars which sounds like the Noah's Ark story from the Bible. The Question is: "Will all life be destroyed on Earth by AI?" One could say that the story of Noah's Ark is a metaphorical prediction of the existential threat that is facing humanity in the form of climate change and artificial intelligence ("the flood"). The theologians have also theorized that the day we leave Earth we will be going to heaven or hell when Jesus comes. This is referred to as "Judgment Day". This is the unending war of ideologies between religion and science. Engineers believe that we should go to Mars and Theologians believe that we should go to Heaven.

The next major engineering feat is creating forms of life that can exist on other planets. This is called the engineering of biology. After the use of electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering to create Starship, the most important part of the Mars mission is the biological engineering of human beings. Medical Laboratories will have to become the factory for the engineering of life in order to make humans multiplanetary. Life is the most advanced form of engineering.

Laboratory Information Systems of the Future

Laboratory Information Systems will become the center of artificial intelligence in Laboratory Medicine. This ocean of patient data will transform Medical Laboratories into the most intelligent system of modern healthcare. With the rewriting of human genetics and this ocean of patient data, the programming of human biology becomes more of a science fact than fiction. Intelligent Medical Laboratory Information Systems will not only serve as a management tool for labs but a management tool for all aspects of patient care. This is where computers take over Laboratory Medicine and the Physician becomes obsolete. These information systems will become so intelligent that automatically a diagnosis will be provided with every patient data that the system analyzes. The Central Nervous System of the Medical Laboratory will be operated from a computer software whilst the musculoskeletal system will be the use of robotics as a means of mechanics for patient samples. No humans will be required in such a Medical Laboratory since the entire process will be automated with robotics and laboratory information systems.

This is one way in which artificial intelligence and robotics will change healthcare and replace jobs. Such a reality should not be viewed as dystopian or science fiction, but as an opportunity for engineers and other scientists to think of ways to solve bigger problems in Laboratory Medicine. 

Gamification of Medical Laboratories

Gamification is the key to increased customer engagement. In the metaverse, gamers will be able to use virtual worlds to keep people's attention and monetize eyeballs. The ability to gamify an industry using augmented and virtual realities are the future of online sales. To create this new version of the internet, referred to as Web 3.0, marketing will become a game. A game is a structured form of play which is usually done for entertainment and/or education. 

Gamification is a marketing strategy which enhances systems, products, services, and organizations in order to motivate and engage users using the experiences garnered from playing a game. It is used as part of a persuasive system design tool for learning and knowledge retention as well as improving customer retention.

Medical Laboratories will have to use gamification in order to survive in the new world of internet marketing. The metaverse will be in the form of a 3D computer simulation like a video game with parallel universes to the physical one we exist in. Therefore, new salespeople will have to develop a gamers' mindset to market effectively in the metaverse.
