The ability to fly faster than a jet, stop a speeding bullet, or leap over skyscrapers may all be good and I am sure have their uses in different circumstances. That being said, not sure any of these abilities can really be of much use in the modern world. To survive the hectic pace of life in the twenty-first century we need to be able to adapt, absorb and assimilate new information every single minute. I wish I had the capacity to develop new skills without actually spending hours reading or learning about them. One look at a book or a new gadget, one that I want to read or master and I should be able to know everything about it. That would be nice.
