Is your
body letting you down? How much time out of your daily schedule do you relinquish
for exercise? Are you tired of moving heaven
and earth to support that bag of chemicals and water we call our bodies? Do
you wish you could enhance your senses or even add new capabilities to your
existing body? While this used to be the realm of science fiction only a
few years ago, current and rapidly emerging technologies allow you to repair,
replace or enhance that old bag of bones here and now. In this week's
Working the Web to Win blog, I will take you into the lab to explore bio-tech
that is being used to repair, replace or enhance human beings. I will
also introduce you to a new cult of devotees who are ready, willing and able to
undergo painful medical procedures to take the cyborg plunge and bio-hack their
way to a better life.
