Evolution: From human species to cyborg
Journal Title: Sociología y tecnociencia/Sociology and Technoscience. - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The human being has been able to adapt to the environment due to the biological and cultural evolution. One option to improve the human characteristics could be to obtain a cyborg or a bionic human being with a computational chip directly connected to the brain. This and other possibilities are discussed in the present paper.
