Cyborg Next stage of Human Evolution

Charles Darwin postulated his Theory of Evolution statingthat every organism has an inherent natural characteristicto adopt and increase his chances of survival Thisprocess of evolution takes hundreds of generations to

develop But in the modern world humans are evolvingfaster than nature can keep up We're moulding ourown evolution and the latest step in that direction isintegration of technology and machines inside our body

The term cyborg is made upof cybernetic

organism The term refers to any organism havingmechanical and technological enhancements integrated inhis body which behave just like theirbiological counterpartsSince technology is so fundamental to our interaction

with today's world its inevitable that we will eventuallyend up with a cybernetic society sooner or laterFor example why carry a phone when we can

embed a communicator inside our body why carrycar or house keys when an NFC chip can be putinside our that will open our cars and house locksThese solutions are just scratching the surface theimplications of cybernetics are more profound when itapplied to the field of disability correction and military

91with the helpof cybernetics humans can end

physical disability forever in 21stcentury Any person havingdisability arising from amputation of limbs will

be assisted by bionic limbs which will perform justas good and with technological progression surpass thebiological limbs Blindness could be cured with sensors thatcan replace natural vision and also far beyond thecapability of human eyes like detection of IR UV andthermal sensors that can help in the field of fire andrescue and future warfare Enhanced exoskeletonscould be used with soldiers with more strength and

agilityAll these augmentations with human body will arise

its own set of problems for example if every bodyfunction will eventually be replaced by a cyberneticenhancementat certain point a person will be more machinethan human It is also very difficult to say how thesociety will accept it It could be seen as overindulgence

or unethical as the lines between what is a human

and what is a machine will be blurredSo it would be accurate to say that soon

technology will no longer mean separate lifeless tools

but our own body The adoption of cybernetics is themost crucial step in our evolution as a species but its a

slippery slope one we have to navigate cautiously

Il M 1 god yAs the eminent historian Noah Harari imagined

Having raisedhumanity above the beasty level of survival struggleswe will now aim to upgrade humans into gods andtom homo sapiens into homo dens
