Many animals on our planet possess certain characteristics
or abilities that we humans do not have, but could use to help us in our daily
lives. For example, bats use echolocation to find things in the night, owls
have a wider and better view of their surroundings by using their “night vision”
to allow them to see in dark areas, and wild dogs use certain sounds to convey
messages to the rest of their kin scattered in the area. What if humans did possess the traits that these
animals have? What if we replicated some of these skills and incorporated them
into our daily lives?
Imagine
if we could replicate the chameleon’s ability to camouflage itself in its
surroundings. Looking at it simply, we could study the animal and its naturally
born ability and make suits that adapted to any surface it touched or was up
against. Or perhaps we could have settings already programmed into the clothing
that we could choose from, such as brick, wood, or carpet. Although having that
kind of illusive trait could be dangerous, it could also be helpful.
Rescue
missions in deserts and forests could be a lot easier if we could blend into
our background. If someone was being held hostage in a building, we could use
the suit to subdue the attacker and save the captive in a cleaner, less
stressful way. Militaries could use them for their soldiers as well. The soldiers could use bright colors on the suit to send certain messages to people from far away without having to say a word. The possibilities
that this suit has is endless. Although it seems close to impossible at this
time, science could copy this helpful skill and make it an ability that humans
could have in the future.
