The transformation has begun. Truth is, it began a long time ago. Man is slowly becoming more and more like machine. And in the same way, machines are becoming more and more human. It's scary, but at the same time it gives a lot of hope. The movies that depict humanistic machines (Terminator and I Robot, to name a few) may not have been far off predictions of the future. Just yesterday, a man who had is arm blown off in Iraq showed off his brand new Bionic arm that allows him to function nearer to normal than could ever have been expected. It's truly an amazing feat. But that is just the beginning. Soon, more and more parts of the body will be replaceable or fixable using machines that interact with our innermost workings. Man and computer will combine to form an organism so powerful that it is not crazy to think we may be able to live forever. What once seemed science fiction is coming true right before our very eyes. What will come next...
