WHY ?
HOW CYBORGS ARE MADE..?
The number of respected
scientists predicting the advent of
intelligent machines is growing
exponentially. Steven Hawking,
perhaps the most highly regarded
theoretical scientist in the world and
the holder of the Cambridge
University chair that once belonged
to Isaac Newton, said recently, "In
contrast with our intellect, computers
double their performance every 18
months. So the danger is real that
they could develop intelligence and
take over the world." He added, "We

CONCLUSION:
At present our method of communication,
speech, is very slow, serial and error prone. By cyborg technology man can
improve himself a lot.
The potential to communicate by means of
thought signals alone is a very exciting one. More over in order prevent the machines
