Cyborgs


Cyborg(Merged from the two terms:cybernetic and organism)

Part Machine,Part Human.

This topic has been fascinating people for quite a long time.Many enjoy discussing it but very few accept it as a fact rather than fiction.I'm fortunate to be one of those few people.Science has come up with new ways to robotize humans.Even a heart patient with a pacemaker can be referred to as being partially robotized!
Even articles have come up in newspapers,saying about robotizing humans and making them immortal by brain transfers! Itz just Amazing!
Kevin Warwick,a renowned professor and scientist from the University of Reading,England, has successfully conducted experiments on himself to prove the wonders of cybernetics(the branch of science which deals with the communication between animals and machines).
Jagadish Chandra Bose, a reknowned scientist from India had already realised this field as a modern discipline,several years ago before India's independence.He was a great visionary who had clearly explained the facts of cybernetics.Had he not died in 1937,he would have contributed a lot more in this field.
Heres an excerpt from a website article on J.C.Bose:

"Bose’s theories about the relationship between living and non-living and plant’s response to stimuli were not taken seriously in his time and even today some of his ideas have remained esoteric. However, as D.M. Bose, who succeeded Bose as Director of the ,Bose Institute has pointed out “his model of an electric eye which records with electric signals message received from outside world, his physical model of memory as a mechanism for storing information justified his being considered a precursor of the modern discipline of cybernetics.” It is now recognised that Bose had made very significant contributions to the field of chronobiology and circadian rhythms even before these two technical terms were coined."

What I believe is cybernetics could be the ultimate solution for the betterment of mankind.Apart from repairing physical defects in humans,a new concept of making super humans has come up which could make old people lift heavy objects single handedly and effortlessly! Take a look at the picture above depicting a young man wearing a robot suit.This robot suit when wore,merges with the human nervous system and enhances the human's power fantastically to a large extent! Imagine how an old aged person would benefit from this marvellous device!

But apart from the physical terms,cybernetics can also enhance the human mind!

Looks like human immortality is not far away!...

So Cybernetics as we see, beautifully benefits the human kind!

Bye 4 now!

C u later!

Take Care!

Keep Smiling!
