In response to Joanna Huang’s article “Merging with Machines” she states that video games such as the Nintendo Wii and Xbox connect are gateways to much bigger technological advances that could eventually merge with our bodies. I could not agree more. The rapid expansion of technology making our everyday lives simpler is evolving an field with constant new opportunities. The ideas to push movement into smart phones and to our computers and TV’s is a very realistic expectation for the near future. The expectation of technology being planted in humans in generations to come would not come as a surprise to many. The human species is all about survival and technology seems like the best way to make our species live longer. Joanna goes on to talk about how machines will eventually be able to repair us just as a repair shop can repair a car. This is also a very realistic projection and although it seems like something out of a movie, advanced prosthetic limbs have been developed to make us run faster when we have lost our legs. From this example of a crippling injury to addition of speed the technology of tomorrow will be the key for extended survival.
