Re: Half man/ half machine.
I think it wont be that long in the distant future when we will see man merging with machines...I mean with prosthetic limbs already we are on the way arnt we?I just hope if humans go down the merging road that its truly for the benefit of us and not just because we can do it..
Soon computers will have the AI the same as our human brains then we will see what happens. I can see things will change from then rapidly.

We are all machines. That which is "us" inhabits a machine, a complete machine, you are but the driver. Heck, you don't even understand how your machine actually works. You cut yourself and the machine just gets on with repairing itself. That which is "you" has no idea how the machine is doing that, you are not even conscious of instructing it to repair itself. The machine just gets on and does it.

Probably not, May. We'll all have a bit of blue touch paper up our bums, then queue up to get it lit, and off we go.
