Part 7/12:
The Evolution of Tech Integration in Our Bodies
The concept of humans integrating technology isn't new. For example, pacemakers, introduced in the 1950s, were initially revolutionary devices that helped save lives by regulating heartbeats. Over time, societal acceptance grew, and now pacemakers are a standard part of modern medicine. They are seen as a natural extension of technological progress aiding human health.
This historical perspective illustrates that our relationship with tech-in-your-body is evolving gradually. Today’s biohackers are pioneering new ways to enhance or redesign the body, often in ways that mimic or build upon existing devices like pacemakers or cochlear implants.
