CYBORGS


In the era of the Cold War and the Space Race. Where every thing goes to be high way..'

Humans have limited capabilities. Humans sense the world in a restricted way, vision being the best of the senses. Humans understand the world in only 3 dimensions and communicate in a very slow, serial fashion called speech





But can this be improved on?
Can we use technology to upgrade humans?

The possibility exists to enhance human capabilities.

 To harness the ever increasing abilities of machine intelligence, to enable extra sensory input and to communicate in a much richer way, using thought alone???



This possibility is made possible in the form of Cyborgs. A Cyborg is a Cybernetic Organism, part human part machine; it thrives on the inputs both from the living senses and from the machine interface, which acts as an enhancement module
.


We all are aware of the deadly rule of nature….the survival of the fittest…and as we know many species aren’t with us they have evolped and we cant really control it but can prepare to make our self safe…..?

 yes  this is possible when  Mr kevin warkwick good great scientist who discovered cyborgs…..Cyborgs it is something which can be a great boon as well bane for  species  homo sapnies…
Boon as we can consider the casse of   “Naddya vessey” 

Nadya Vessey was born with a condition that meant her legs would never develop properly and by the time she was 16 she had both her legs amputated.
………….
But now with the phenomenon of the cyborgism she can swim like a marmaid now with a attached tail n also now he can walk with her attached legs not only her….
 There are many people who are help like people with impared arms and legs are helped by attaching machine parts which work like original and even work better and not to forget the Heart transplant
because of which the life of almost deing person return this was the case of the helping the disable also with this concept ….
One can anable a human being to SUPER HUMAN BEING

For my money, the vision that gets it most right is Ripley’s exoskeleton.

Also Consider paralympic athletes.

When they go to competition, they don’t graft the equipment on to their bodies because, next year, there’s going to be better gear. Instead, they wear interchangeable equipment that’s suited to the moment.


So when you think about cyborgs, think less of images like this. Don’t think about total loss of self, bodies encroached and erased by technology, humanity swallowed whole….


















WE ALL remember the body-terror of the "Terminator",






 an entity that is machine first, with a thin veneer of humanity sprayed on top. Infiltrator assassins sent by a technosphere that’s decided it doesn’t need us anymore, that behaves and looks like us long enough to get close enough to kill us.


Then there’s the body-tragedy of Robocop, a person that should be dead, kept alive and made more powerful by technology. He’s made more vulnerable too. He is wholly dependent on the infrastructure that sustains him, and his will is constrained by the programming. His techno-corporate creators have failsafes and kill switches. His humanity seems always to be just slipping out of reach.

Now after this great discovery….it is all upto us how to keep it………..use it as a great boon or bane because can be even a bane…for terminator like human beings can even distroy us…………………
It is anycase a human with extra ordinary powers..which works according to his own will…..
