Elon Musk recently said that people have already begun cyborgs, smartphones are already improving memory, sight glasses, and heart stimulants can regulate heartbeats. The environment is full of digital technologies and connections, as is the case with people.
Across the world, biohackers, researchers, or entrepreneurs are emerging who are turning to new technologies to improve their lives, Big Think says. Most of the technologies currently used help people move more easily through certain phases of life, making them stronger, smarter, or more resilient. In the past such abilities were considered superpowers. Here are 6 types of technologies that could improve our lives and memory in the future.
RFID chips
Microchips are not new, but the practice of implanting them in humans is recent. Currently, many biohackers are prone to this process, eliminating many of the usual daily activities such as wearing a wallet or keys. The chip can only be used for payments by a simple touch or can open and close the door to the house or office automatically. But these are just some of the basic processes that could be replaced by microchips. Chips could soon become a method of identification. Chips could also be used in healthcare. Through a simple chip scan, physicians may find the blood group or medications the patient is allergic to.
Exoskeleton
Although in 1984 in the movie "Terminator" the concept of cyborg was presented as a fusion of living human tissue with a metal exoskeleton. But, by 2020, the concept could be redefined, cyborg could be considered a person wearing a metal exoskeleton on the disintegration of the human body. The new technology could be used in melee fighting between soldiers.
Real-time translation of a foreign language
The software for translating words from other languages has been used for a few years, of course they often translate some of the wrong phrases or words. But nowadays, technologies have tried to improve translations and eliminate imprecisions, with mankind being in the process of creating real-time translation programs. In 2016, the NY Times suggested that the artificial intelligence system has improved remarkably.
Currently, a US startup has raised over $ 4 million and received a pre-order of 22,000 prototypes of earphones that translate in real time and cancel the background noise.
Augmented vision
Bionic eyes are currently used to treat hereditary visual diseases and age-related muscle degeneration. The technology is based on a camera mounted on spectacles that transmit impulses to the retina. Although it is necessary to improve the technique, in the future it could help to treat the blindness.
Another type of intraocular lens developed by Ocumetics Technology Corp is currently on the verge of clinical testing. The company claims that their product can '' improve sight at any distance, '' regardless of age.
Body parts created with 3D printers
Laboratory urinary bladders and functional vagina have already been successful in patients. But more promising are vital organs created in the laboratory, such as the heart, lungs or kidneys. Professor Martin Birchall, a surgeon at the University of London, says that this type of organ will soon appear on the market. "I think in less than 10 years, surgeons will test organs and tissues created in the laboratory."
Improving sexual organs
In 2014, experts predicted that a complete and functional transformation of sexual organs could be made by 2024. When it comes to sex, people have great aspirations and an extremely powerful imagination. Transhumanist George Dvorsky claims that the penis of the future will be similar to the present, but much larger. Among other things, the penis of the future could be resistant to bacteria and could be activated by Wifi. Another transhumanist and biohacker, Rich Lee, has a different view. He believes vibrating penis implants will be the next improvement in sexual life.
looks like there's a huge agenda behind that
