The contents of the special edition program "cyborg technology changes human beings" of NHK were shocking for me.

They say that the electric signal currently automatically used by connection with a cerebral circuit, hand and foot, etc. is analyzed,

and it becomes possible to share with a machine (portion which exists at least).

In the program, the analysis of the electric signal which man's brain takes out through a nerve progressing,

connecting a nerve and an artificial arm directly, and moving an artificial arm with people's intention was being put in practical use.

Moreover, the electrode was attached in the sea horse of the brain of the patient of Alzheimer's disease with the wire,

and control of the body was able to be recovered by making the signal of a normal state send artificially.

It is certain that it is the wonderful technology which possibility opens in recovery of the athletic ability

which had to be given up because of old medical treatment for people with a physical disability.

　

However, this technology was diverted to some other purpose, the chip which sends a direct electricity signal to the brain of an animal

was embedded in the second half of a program, and it had succeeded in the experiment made to act satisfactorily.

In the U.S. Forces, it is already said studying military use of this technology that it has begun.

　

It seems that reconnaissance spy-ization of a rat is already attained with the present technology.

Although honesty and I are insufficient of realities Supposing the pattern of man's instruction signal will be analyzed from now on,

superman-izing as cerebral artificial development and its application, Also in a possibility of carrying out as

[ connect / a brain / an auxiliary chip is embedded in a brain daily (functional assistance and expansion sake),

and / with a computer / always / direct ], even a possibility that man will be hacked will come out [ it ] like comics "Ghost in the Shell",

not a joke but when it becomes so.

A definition of the present "human being" at least will swing greatly.

If the present basic conditions of leading raw under the flesh conditions decided fatally are lost,

is a thing called the man's individuality really prescribed by what?

Human being whom all can strengthen [ change and ] with an option. Present I cannot imagine.

For example, if the human beings who perceive the infrared rays which are non-visible light, and ultraviolet rays appear now,

will Kon's color study in visual arts collapse from the bottom?

　

The words of Mr. Brook of robotics who found it at the link place of "SCI" were still more shocking

. "It is not necessary to fear that a robot replaces us.

It is because it takes and the thing "we" changing does not exist then. ...." in which we are probably united with the machine.

I felt for the first time that the feeling of selected people of AMISSHU understood a few for refusing the civilization of electricity,

a car, etc. and living this time. I am feeling of not wanting to live long not much, somehow.
