People will watch this twenty or thirty years from now and laugh at this documentary's definition of cyborg ( People walking around with clunky devices attached to their sunglasses.).

A future cyborg will have all of these devices within them, at the nano-scale. They'll look completely normal, but if you were to open the hood and look inside with a microscope you would find a plethora of different devices all functioning behind the scenes. I sound like a jerky snob don't I ?

@TheNewGirlGamer You must remember that humans are machines too; that fact that we can move our legs and think is no more miraculous than if a computer could do it. As machines become autonomous in their own right, we give birth to a new species of organism - which are our children, in every sense of the word. Cyborgs are just the first step.

Humans are 'programmed' to behave as we do; our brain picks up on things and directs our body to respond. Trouble is, we're programmed to forget that too.

@shockforce2 Agreed.

I don't mean to be mean, but isn't the fact that we can move our legs and think thoughts a miracle? Technology is is changing everything and in a terrible way. What if we were without any advances in technology? Well, we would work harder and be greater thinkers. On another note, We feel pain because of things we do, and if we can't suffer anything, we don't live our full life. I say, if this whole Cyborg things happens, I will never be part of it. And if I am, I will never be fully happy.

hahah too bad we have the right to privacy. if you think facial recognition software is going to pull up a bunch of data about a person while youre walking down the street youre wrong.. unless of course that person agrees to make that information public. which no one is going to do..
