TIDBITS: MORE FOR THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: BIONIC EYES, NEW ...

March 16, 2013 / Joseph P. Farrell /

The technological enhancement of mankind continues apace, so much so that it's almost impossible to keep up with it. But here's three new capabilities roaring down the tracks: (1) bionic eyes, (2) prosthetics that have a sense of touch, and (3) "zombie" cells.

I’d hate to be a prick…
When I could be so much more, & with feeling…
like any ever-ready-bunny.
Because thats where this is headed(excuse the pun)

SEX sells.

And it’s the elephant in the room,
no one’s talking about.

I have a new take on The Immortal, sorry Persia.

I have zombie-drone Avatars “keeping the peace” or “facilitating battle”, linked (perhaps to the point of full neural/nervous integration?) to remote, protected, reusable operators.

I have Special Operations Private Frankenstein, and I have many superspecialized, superbly trained, interchangeable, remote brains to stick in her head, as it were.

Cyborgs anyone know where will these Victor Frankensteins go with this technology. The mechanical hand and electronic eye is OK but what is with the zombie cells what are they for that’s the mystery.
