Meet the real-life human cyborgs
The news raised up that the close relationship between humans and machines. Nowadays, the sufficient technique of technology is enough to be able used in human body, especially the side of medical science, it facilitates a lot of patients, even can convenient, be facilitated on their daily life as well, those can bring them up the hope and to be desirous of life. What is more, we have become cyborgs unwittingly or necessarily. This article cites four peoples who have physical defects and to try to different applications of technology, applied those tools of technological of medicine for the external on their own body.
Stelios Arcadiou, who has the extra ear and it is grown in a lab from cells, and he claimed that, “....My attitude is that technology is, and always has been, an appendage of the body.”; Rob Spence, who is the cyborg, have a “All-seeing eye”, he used the video camera to implant in his false eye; Jerry Jalava, because of the motorbike accident, he installed the prosthetic finger and to turn it in a USB drive, included the programs, like Linux; Kevin Warwick, who has a robot arms and he decided to use the radio chips to link his skin and central nervous system. Moreover, the prosthetics for amputees can works like a real limbs with the myo-electric prosthetics. The amputees can response the nerve signals and operate the digits through the sensors.
In the twenty-first century, the human beings enter a "post-human" of period. The human would like to makeup, make the tattoos, foot binding, and so on to change the appearance of the body in the past. But now, we may use of surgery, reproduction, gene modification and implantation of mechanical to “create” our body, even could change the gender. In the development of high technology, as machine, always gives a cold, hard, lifeless feeling, and now, it can replace the body organs, which must is the extremely valuable tool for the doctors or researchers. Through technology to be a guidance system that assist the surgery, improve the quality of health care system, so that the mechanical and medical can achieve an effective combination. This is the great benefit to human undoubtedly, besides, the rate of cyborgs will also increase and emergence. Specially, the human can use the computer's “memory” to access “files”, we can not live without mechanical and the lines between human and machine become blur and vague increasingly.
