There is no doubt technological advancements are occurring faster than ever. According to the article “Well on our way to merging with machines,” Israel is one of the key places developing these technologies. Various multinational companies – Intel, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and soon Apple – currently have plant operations in Israel for important research and development labs. The Israeli operations supply chips to these companies and “anticipate what technologies are going to be needed in the future.”
The research labs believe, perceptual computing, such as the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect, will start to play a much bigger role in the future. With smartphones and personal GPS devices, people no longer have to remember all the things we used to. Oded Agam, head of vertical solutions strategic planning, wonders, “What happens to our brain cells when they no longer have to remember phone numbers? Do they just die or do they create new capabilities that allow us to do things we weren’t able to do before?” Agam believes the latter is obviously what’s going to happen. 
It is not hard to imagine that in the future, nano-machines will be “enhance our capabilities, and they’ll be able to repair us, like a repair shop that will happen inside our blood cells and increase our lifespan…humans and machines will start to have the same capabilities.”
