At some point in the next few decades, the capability of technology could outpace that of life. However, life and technology are not disparate streams but are already starting to converge as high-impact research findings show in synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology, nanomedicine, neuroimaging, whole brain simulation and longevity.

I once read that systems that allow a brain to control a computer are inching ever closer to reality — but their most important applications may be different from those envisaged by science fiction.
At the start of the 1970s television series The Six Million Dollar Man, I recall the narrator saying 'Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology,' HIM was the shattered body of crash victim Steve Austin. The series showed scientists reconstructing him with bionic implants where he could control with his mind. At the time, this was pure fantasy, but your PPS here is showing otherwise. This is no longer confined to fiction. 2 years ago Reply
