Cyborgs
Cyborg technology was presented by several speakers. A cyborg is a theoretical or fictional being with both organic and biomechatronic parts. Cyborgs allow humans to live in environments different from normal through external modification of control mechanisms. Applications of cyborg technology discussed include using it in medicine to restore lost functions, in the military by controlling insect motions, and in space to mitigate risks of sending humans. Many cyborg inventions exist while others remain fictional, with a wide range of current and potential future applications.
Bionic technology
Bionic technology refers to technology that can help humans through replacing damaged body parts with mechanical implants. This includes providing artificial sight to blind people or prosthetic limbs to those who have lost limbs. Cyborgs are a combination of human and machine, where mechanical parts are fitted to humans to enhance capabilities. There are two main types of bionic technologies - convenient technologies that use exoskeletons to go beyond human capabilities, and conditional technologies that replace lost or damaged body parts to restore normal function.

This document summarizes the concept and history of human head transplants (HHT). It discusses past experiments transplanting animal heads that were unsuccessful due to immune rejection issues. The first successful head transplant was in 1970, transplanting a monkey head but the monkey only survived 9 days. The document outlines Italian doctor Sergio Canavero's plan to perform the first human HHT as soon as 2017. It describes the proposed procedure which involves cooling the bodies, reconnecting blood vessels and spinal cords, and placing the recipient in a coma for 4 weeks to heal. Some critics say the project is "pure fantasy" but supporters argue the technology has advanced significantly since the first monkey head transplant over 40 years ago.
Sample of a project
This document summarizes 10 inventions that will change the world:
1. Robotics, with robots now capable of performing home and security jobs.
2. Genetic engineering, allowing determination of physical traits like gender.
3. Advances in transportation like trains and planes, now faster than a century ago.
4. Alternative energy sources like tides, waves, wind and nuclear power.

10 gigabit ethernet technology presentation
10 Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Description: This presentation shows the use of 10 Gigabit Ethernet Technology
10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE, 10GbE, or 10 GigE) is a group of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. It was first defined by the IEEE 802.3ae-2002 standard. Unlike previous Ethernet standards, 10 Gigabit Ethernet defines only full-duplex point-to-point links which are generally connected by network switches; shared-medium CSMA/CD operation has not been carried over from the previous generations Ethernet standards[1] so half-duplex operation and repeater hubs do not exist in 10GbE.
