We are all Cyborgs now
JW Bats at Tech Future blog, presents an excellent posting on the future of mind controlled prosthetics. It is a link-filled extravaganza of a post, so go ahead and enjoy.
There is a race, of sorts, between the hardware technologists and the bioware technologists. The hardware technologists seem to have more of a headstart, and are giving us useful prosthesis such as cochlear implants, more functional limb prosthesis, and even retinal implants.In the long run, the biotechnologists cum nanotechnologists will win out. But in the short run, the hardware technologists still have a lot to give.
Update: Cuanas presents a thoughtful post relating to this topic.
