Evolución: de la especie humana al cyborg
Journal Title: Sociología y tecnociencia/Sociology and Technoscience. - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Gracias a la evolución biológica y cultural el ser humano ha sido capaz de adaptarse al ambiente. Una opción para mejorar las prestaciones humanas podría ser la obtención de un cyborg o ser humano biónico en el cual la parte inorgánica fuese un chip computacional conectado directamente al cerebro. Esta y otras posibilidades se debaten en el presente artículo.
