[pic]Abstract

Man always wanted to scale new heights of technology in order to make his life better than the best. His thirst for sophisticated life has never come to an end. He always demanded more power, more comfort. In this quest we present you the world of bionics which examines the ways in which technology is inexorably driving us to a new and different level of humanity, Tran humanism. As scientists draw on nanotechnology, molecular biology, artificial intelligence, and innovative bio-materials science, they are routinely using sophisticated surgical techniques to implant computer chips and drug-dispensing devices into our bodies, designing fully functional man-made body parts, and linking human brains with computers to make people healthier, smarter, and stronger. In short, we are going beyond what was once only science fiction to create bionic people with fully integrated artificial components and it will not be long before we reach the ultimate goal of constructing a completely synthetic human-like being. The central idea of bionics is learning from nature,

Hence by the bio-mimetic approach we can improve the quality of living. For example an ant can lift a mass i.e. 51 times more than its body weight. Bionics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with “BIO-logy and Tech-NICS” and is an official science since the sixties approximately.

    In the future technology will become so prevalent that it’s only natural that people will start “upgrading” themselves, thus effectively making them cybernetic organisms or in shorter words a cyborg. A cyborg is defined by Webster as a person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent upon a mechanical or electronic device. There are a number of people who currently are enhanced by a machine including, Kevin Warwick, Jesse Sullivan, Jens Naumann, or even Jerry Jalava. All the technology aiding them is different, but it all amounts to the same fact, something that they previously couldn’t do is now possible thanks to a machine.…

    Progress, which can be defined as making the world increasingly better, is a fundamental element of Garrett’s argument. She explains that synthetic genomic research marks the beginning of tapping biology’s full potential. The beginning of a biology revolution, bioengineering research mimics revolutions in physics that allow for clean energy and other advancements. But one cannot discount that progress in physics also led to the atomic bomb, and bioengineering’s atomic bomb could be an epidemiological catastrophe. If the government mitigates negative effects like this through the regulations that Garrett suggests, it is possible that bioengineering research could be a prime example of progress, making the world astoundingly better through tailored vaccinations and…

    In “staying human” by author Dinesh D’Souza, we are given a voice of reason in response to the “techno utopians” desire to use science as a means to create perfection known as, “post humans.” D’Souza voices that the ability to do something, does not substantiate actually doing it. And, that it “it poses a grave risk to humans.” D’Souza disagrees with “techno-utopians,” and follows the belief that genetic engineering pertaining to modifying intellect and physical attributes in unethical, especially, parents who would elect to make choices about their unborn children. However, D’Souza does find a medium, and believes that genetic engineering could offer many benefits to humanity, such as preventing illness and deformities.…

    In the creation of a living computer system "we are, according to Kevin Ulmer of The Genex Corporation, making a computer from the very stuff of life."17 Eventually it is expected that these systems will be so miniturized that they may be planted in humans so as to regulate chemical and systemic imbalances. As these chips are used to operate mechanical arms, or negate brain or nerve damage the issue of man‑robots, cyborgs, will arise. The development of such organic computers is expected in the early 1990's. This new technolgical development will force a redefinition of our conception of…

    In addition, a famous fiction movie called “EX Machina” tells a terrifying story that a scientist is killed by a human-like robot produced by himself, while his original intention to design such a machine is just simply assisting him with housework. When the robots have more mature artificial intelligent which is exactly what people desire, it is rational to assume that they can acquire the incentive to offend, even hurt their masters just like what people do to each other. Although it is a science-fiction movie, the thoughts behind its story definitely deserve the public careful concern. The dangerous and limitation of robots are still available so that we should use them as prudently as…

    Throughout the pop culture of science-fiction and action comics, video games and films, sequences of super-human experimentation proved effective over enemies. The Pentagon has been bringing the idea of an Ironman or Superman-like combatant to life by developing methods to enhance American soldiers towards forming a the most advanced, efficient military (Jacobsen). These methods stem from biotechnology, dating back thousands of years ago, and during the biotechnology revolution of the late 20th century, scientists learned to alter the genetic constitution of living organisms (Smith). Genetic engineering is used on our warfighters as we want our soldiers to enter the battlegrounds at the peak of their highest potential in strength, cognition, and endurance. Micheal Goldbatt, the director of the US’s military technology organization the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), defines this progression as the idea of Transhumanism: “The notion that man can alter the human condition fundamentally by augmenting the body with machines and other means” (Honigsbaum). However,…

    What right does man have to accuse another of such a dastardly feat? It is nearly an undoubtable fact that one day man and technology will form a unity and biotechnology will become integrated into everyday life. Man has no right to play God, but man also has no right to attack every technological breakthrough with controversy and radical accusations. “Playing God” is a cliché that has become all too common in the present day. Man has every natural right to alter and improve itself as a race through biomedical augmentations. It is inevitable that technological breakthroughs will have widespread effects on the fields of biology and physiology. Biotechnological developments will also lead to grave changes in global commerce and consumerism within a span as short as the next 20 years. Theological and ethical arguments against replacing the natural human form do not possess the factual backing, nor the rationale, to effectively make the accusation that man is “playing God” with its inevitable biotechnologies and procedures. The human body has near-unlimited capabilities as a biotechnological receptor, and the possibility that this will become a reality is up to society. If humanity can accept the technologic lifestyle it is destined toward, then ethical debates and moral rationales will finally stop getting in the way of scientific…

    As a young boy I dreamt of some day being an engineer in outer space or a world-renowned artist, but then I discovered the human body. Consisting of over 30 trillion cells and enough blood vessels to wrap around the world twice, I have yet to find a supercomputer more complex or a work of art more intricate. What started as a fascination has become a transforming life passion. Thanks to many unique experiences I will be able to bring the same transformation to others and exemplify the APTA’s vision for physical therapy.…

    Transhumanism is the ultimate goal of eugenicists; the human will be improved far beyond normal human functioning. This will be achieved by merging with our greatest competition- technology. This will give will enable us to have “Self-directed evolution” (ʻVariations Under Domesticationʼ, (2013)), we will never again be limited by our biology. Robot intelligence may one day far exceed that of human intelligence, causing humans to become obsolete. At a bioethics lecture entitled “Bioethics 2025: what will be the challenges?” Dr Dill Haddow predicted that by 2050 we will all be cyborgs. We think of robots as artificial beings created by coding but human beings are also subject to a genetic code- our DNA. Human beings learn behavior in order to survive our surroundings, making us superior intelligence. But what if robots could learn behavior too? Dr. Mark Tilden the creator of the BEAM robots, has successfully made robots which are not programed to walk but can learn to walk in order to survive (INLOGY Documentaries (2015)). Robots are our biggest rival and in order to survive we must merge with it and become a superhuman race.…

    Biomimicry is copying something in life. Bio means Life and Mimic-Copy. One example of biomimicry is velcro. Velcro was founded when George de Mestral was returning from a walk with his dog when he began to wonder how cockle-burs stick to people, so he studied the science of cockle-burs and created Velcro using the science of cockle-burs as stated on the article Invention of Velcro Brand on hookandloop.com/invention-velcro-brand/. The concept of biomimicry is used in almost all inventions.…
