In our days technology has evolved in a way that, people 50 years ago, couldn’t even imagine. Almost everything that people found hard to do 50 years ago is now possible using the internet. For example talking and even seeing anyone in the world, using only your phone or computer, watching any TV show or movie anywhere even transferring important data instantly, This things were impossible a long time ago. But technology hasn’t stopped here, we can now play video games using only our body or we can ask our phone for directions to our favorite restaurant and this only by voice. Using Google we can find almost any information anytime and nowadays you can find on the web old friends or people you want to find some information about, using social websites like Facebook or Twitter. Now we are witnessing a closer relationship between humans and technology. This relationship has become more intimate, technology is now replacing body parts. Bionic tools are not fiction anymore, now the technology has gone that far that scientist invented the electronic taste, bionic eyeballs or electronic hearing. So, can technology go that far that we could become cyborgs? If yes the technology could be our doom if someone could take control over our brains and body parts. But in the same time with the control of our brain be could cure diseases like alzheimer’s or depression. I think that technology will be this advanced, that we will become half cyborgs but our brain and feelings of the world will remain almost the same. What do you think ? Will technology be our end as humans with feelings or not ? As Elbert Hubbard said “One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.”
