RE: How Brain Implants Could Give Us Superhuman Abilities

in #technology7 years ago

@sauravrugta - An amazing 'throw forward' look at technology and how it will impact us (or rather, integrate with us) in future. Science fiction writers have envisioned a lot of these things and the constant march of technology will soon make these a reality as you correctly point out. Human 2.0 (as you designate it) model will be at the same time, brilliantly capable and also very very scary. Like any great technology, this too, will be a double edged sword. I think what will matter is whether the technological enhancement will be controlled by the higher functions of the mind or will overtake (intentionally or unintentionally) the higher function of mind and brain that decides rationality of behavior.
Thanks for this interesting and thought provoking article. I am fairly new on Steemit and stumbled upon this by chance. I am mostly into wildlife awareness blogs based on my photographs and my musings. Have taken recently to also talking about ideas to used Steemit for helping underprivileged including girl child education etc. However, at heart, I remain an Engineer and a nerd. Therefore, will follow you and look forward to more such interesting blogs, Thanks. Cheers. Upvoted

You make an interesting point that it might depend on whether they are controlled by the higher functions of the mind or will overtake them altogether.
