The Upgraded Human
What’s so fantastic about the open source, DIY, and the biohacking scene? It’s the fact that financial considerations take a back seat to the driving forces of pure curiosity and knowledge sharing. Those are the motivating factors for Patric Lanhed and his team. And it’s also why they garnered a lot of media attention with their Bio Pay solution last autumn. Patric works with technology in the communications arena at DigitasLBi in Sweden, and is a true evangelist when it comes to biohacking and how technology play a major role in the human upgrade. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
