2/3 people in Europe are willing to turn themselves into half human and half machine to have “super power”

Cyborg is a term for half-human, half-human, exist both biological and artificial. Compared with the average human, cyborgs use machines perfectly integrated into the body to replace some of the parts that are broken and even enhance some typical functions.

According to a survey that has just been conducted recently. Two-thirds of Western Europeans are willing to strengthen their bodies’ bodies to turn into cyborgs to improve their lives and health.

Authorized by the famous cybersecurity firm Kaspersky (Russia), the survey found that 63% of respondents expressed interest in ‘upgrading’ the body with technology at least once or twice. However, the survey results differ between countries in Western Europe. Only 25% of Britons are interested in transplanting technology devices into humans, while the figure in Spain and Portugal is up to 60%.

In the future, humans will transform themselves into cyborgs to gain ‘super powers’.

“Human enhancement is one of the most important technology trends today. We need to set common standards to ensure our work,” said Marco Preuss, Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Director. The upgrade achieves the highest potential, while minimizing the risk. ”

It is known that the study conducted by Opinium Research surveyed the opinions of 14,500 people across 16 European countries – including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Survey results showed that French and Swiss – like the British – both expressed concerns about ‘strengthening’ the body with machines. Only 32% of the French and 36% of the Swiss, when asked, said they would consider doing this.

Notably, most surveyed hope that implantation methods will make human life better, but there are still few concerns that this new technology direction will dangerous to society and can be exploited by hackers. In particular, most of the respondents said that, at present, only people with good financial means have access to mechanical body enhancement technology.

Take people to a new level

The most potential strengthening methods available today are varied. We can use technology to push brain activity to the limit, or implant machines to fight cancer. In addition, some methods of strengthening the body also make everyday life more convenient, for example, by implanting chips into the arm to unlock cars or electronic doors.

Last month, Neuralink – technology startup Elon Musk founded in 2016 officially announced the device to help people “symbiosis with artificial intelligence”. Specific product Neuralink in development is a chip that is implanted directly into the brain.

Described by Musk as “a Fitbit device in your skull with tiny wires”, this microscopic chip integrates more than 1,000 wires with the ability to read or write your brain activity. . Accordingly, the chip implanted directly into the brain helps people do many things: From streaming music directly from the internet to the brain, enhancing hearing for the wearer, treating depression to neurological diseases like Parkinson …
