Scientists are getting very close to bringing a few iconic species, like woolly mammoths and dodos, back from extinction. That may not be a good thing.

          Fun fact: faster computers allowed tokamak reactors to get a net positive power output, because it allowed them to quickly optimize the magnetic containment field.
