NOTHING NEW EXCEPT THE SCALE. "It’s a myth that human augmentation is anything new. Since the first humans picked up sticks and rocks and started using tools, we've been augmenting ourselves...the common thread is transhumanism; to constantly and fundamentally transform the human condition.” https://lnkd.in/dNbt_XN View in LinkedIn

ALREADY LIVING LONGER. "There has been roughly a tripling of life expectancy for humans in the last few thousand years." https://lnkd.in/dKdjZsY View in LinkedIn

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES. "Human genetic engineering. Neural implants. Nanomedicine. Brain–computer interface. Neurotechnology. Cyberware. Gene therapy? Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. Blind Navigation Devices." Mind uploading. Exocortex. https://lnkd.in/dffbdsA View in LinkedIn

ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES. "We have prosthetic arms that, like their biological counterparts, operate via thought. Devices such as Google Glass that are beginning to offer a deeper look into the realm of augmented reality." https://lnkd.in/d4XypQ7 View in LinkedIn

ONCE SCI-FI. "Today, advances in biotechnology have shown that they’re plausible, even likely to be accomplished in the near future. In labs around the world, researchers looking for ways to help the sick and injured have stumbled onto techniques that enhance healthy animals—making them stronger, faster, smarter, and longer-lived—in some cases, even connecting their minds to robots and computers across the Internet." https://lnkd.in/evPViuJ View in LinkedIn

ARM REPLACEMENT TODAY. "In February, three Austrians made headlines for having their arms removed and replaced with thought-controlled prosthetics through a new surgical procedure. They did so due to severe nerve damage that had rendered their original hands useless, making the decision highly understandable." https://lnkd.in/dv3ZSfP View in LinkedIn
