Bionics
Does anyone know the technology called automail in Fullmetal Alchemist?
Or prosthetic body in Ghost in the Shell?
Or have anyone imagine of cyborg - Half human, half robot?
Well, we are welcoming that age.
Based on articles and topics in recent National Geographic (January 2010 edition for NatGeo Indonesia), the name Bionics, cyborg, derived from bi-Biologi/living and onic(s)-as in electronics. The concept is to merge human living body with electronic devices that can help them to live better. The amputee can have parts of their body back, the blind can see, the deaf can hear. For now though, only those who lost part of their natural ability by accident can be helped, not those who's disable since their birth.
If earlier technology can only replace 7 of 22 points of movements in human limbs, then bionics technology can replace 22 of 22 points of movements in human limbs.
The way it work is similar with how the brain and nervous system works. The brain send impulses through spinal nerves to electrode arrays implanted in residual nerve. A computer chip on each arrays sends the data from the brain to a receiver in skin wirelessly. The skin thus send the data to another chip that decodes the command and wires it to the prosthetic limb controller in the palm, thus sets the motors into movements.

This isn't a surprise. The fact Japan is near completion of it's Dream Machine, this doesn't surprise me. 
Ah... the human potential, very fascinating. Who knows... the next cosplay in AFA will be Edward Elric with real automated limbs.

You know, for me, it's shocking and amazing that we got this far. I mean, I never thought that anything like those would exist. My. Time just seem to fly by.
