Nano Technology

For those who do not know about nano-technology, it is technology working so small that very high powered microscopes are used just to construct everything. Of course with any form of technology there are positives and negatives. The positives are they these new forms of technology can help individuals who may be deaf, blind or going blind.

There is something new which is being worked on at the moment. It is a chip which is implanted into the eye where it can read the different forms of light and pass it onto the brain, which skips the part of the eye which is damaged. This is great for individuals who can not see, maybe in the future they will be able to see. There is also new technology which is still in the trial basis. It is implanted into the brain of an individual who is a paraplegic and controlled by certain brain waves, where that individuals can control specific computer programs. It is hopefully going to be able to help these people bypass broken nerves etc...to where they can control those unusable body parts again.

Now these technologies are great. They are also creating an almost wallpaper television screen. To a point where it will be laid/rolled on all the walls and you can control everything with a touch of a key, even the color of the room. These are great new technologies, but when will it stop. How far will this go. Are we going to turn ourselves into cyborgs?

I know that sounds like a reach, but think about it. Think about 30 years ago the technology we had, now look at today. That's a huge jump. What will the next jump be?
