      Interestingly the fact that technology gives so much control over our environment and ourselves we will be able to dictate our evolution to some extent. Its predicted that in 2045 we will become trans-humans as we start to merge with technology.

      Its already observable with the amount of people who carry smart phones with them all the time. Just imagine that same technology is smaller and connected directly to our brains!

      Indeed! This is already starting to happen. Here are two examples: Some nightclubs plant microchips into your arm so they can check if you have paid entry or not. And on a more serious note, military pilots who use head up displays actually have learned to use both of their eyes separately, so they use one for looking ahead and one for looking at the display. Pretty cool!
