In a sense, the bionic part of my body is immortal, but my biological body obviously won't be able to keep up unless there's major breakthroughs in aging.
Well, I don't know about should, but I do think it's part of humanity's natural progression to go from developing and using tools that are separate from our body to a more profound integration.
Half of my lab is focused on technology to augment human capability beyond innate physiological levels.
So we're building exoskeletons
that if I gave you one of our exoskeletons, you'd be able to jump higher, run faster, walk better.
So that type of technological power, if you will, will be very popular and will become quite pervasive in society.
I predict 10 years, certainly 20 years from now, when you walk down the streets of major cities in the world, you'll routinely see people wearing bionics that are augmenting their capabilities.
Absolutely.
If we don't have humanoids delivering packages or aerial vehicles, if it's still humans, the humans will definitely be augmented.
Absolutely.
