Drones, cyborgs and genetically altered babies: The potential future technologies Americans fear...and a few they hope for

Many Americans are deeply wary of many of the technologies we're at the cusp of reaching.

Meanwhile, 6 in 10 Americans say future advancements will lead to a better life for people.

Are you afraid of the future? That's the gist of what a new Pew study out Thursday asked Americans.

And the answer looks like no. Though there are plenty of exceptions, Americans said they generally embrace the future of science and technology.

However, a majority of Americans have a negative view of many up-and-coming technologies like drones, cybernetic implants or worn technologies like Google Glass and DNA modification for humans.

Sorry Google Glass, the verdict is in and a majority of Americans find cyborg-like devices and implants too creepy They may be a boon for the folks at Amazon but most Americans think drones are worrisome addition to our skies Google is also out of luck with it's driverless car, says the recent Pew study, which found that 50 percent wouldn't even get inside.

One example of where respondents to the Pew Research Center study was the driverless car.

Google wants us all to have our very own and laws are even springing up to help pave the way. But Pew found that 50 percent of Americans would not get inside one.

Also related to the tech giant was the finding that 53 percent think a future where people wear or implant.

Technology that constantly feeds them information would be change for the worse. Sorry Google Glass!
