High demands

The man, remaining close to the animal essence, tends to generate queries concerning different spheres of activity. From primitive that really satisfy, as a member of society, and finishing needs to change the world or himself. In any case, if competently to solve the need, it will be only a basis for the formation of something bigger that people will want.

Since ancient times, we wanted to live a healthy, fulfilling life. The man was from smallest to largest. From a lifetime of thirty years, to the extent possible in a hundred or more (as is already becoming a real right now). Previously, we were able to move around the territory bounded extremely low velocities. How far I can go hiking man? A rider? Funny distance when compared with how far can call in the car. What is already talking about airplanes.

Today we look with interest on our bodies. Human bodies, such defenseless, fragile. They can also be improved, the good we have the resources, needs and knowledge. We can change the defective teeth, replace part of the flesh, skin, muscles. Create a prosthesis that is not much inferior biological limbs. But it was a lot of patients. All the more likely it is that the prostheses of certain parts of the body will be many times better and more convenient. Then it raises the issue about who is the same person to a greater extent? Whose better opportunities? Ordinary man that spent his days in the gym, building up muscle mass, or a cyborg, which is due to hard labor scraped together the money and set the best course? But if it is still possible to argue in favor of a particular party, referring to the fact that this is only the physiology parameter, and the power is not as important in the world today, what about the neural implants? Man is smarter, thanks to the chip in the brain, rather than the efforts made at the desk.

Progress shocking, but it is possible to see the risks and problems. Nobody can guarantee the stable operation. No one can guarantee the absence of side effects. We run the risk of synthesizing artificial works of engineers and programmers. But the result, even if the short-term, staggering.

Our requests are no longer sent to the outside world. He ceased to interest us after we have been able to receive from him the means to survive. Today, we look at ourselves. Our flesh and blood are the new resource, a new space for development. We can do more to squeeze out all the body before death. But if death comes? Gordon Moore's Law continues to operate, complicated and improve. Its products are maddening, allowing you to release processors with today commonplace in the 2.5 GHz frequency but with ten cores on board. Increasing computing power it is able to give life to our consciousness is not inside the body, and among the components of the machine.

Go for more, or to stay in a boring world needs? Choosing a new life, or to seek the pleasure of drinking another bottle of beer in front of TV? Selection can be done only by ourselves.
