Trend: Augmented human
Ending the limitations of our human bodies. A worst case scenario of the near future? The trend Augmented humans is already here.
With the merge of man and technology (trend HumanWare) humans are trying to shift their human biological limitations. Since the existence of mankind this seems the ultimate goal. Make an end to the physical limitations of the human body. Better vision becomes a reality because of smart lenses, extreme hearing because of implants and even more physical power through exoskeletons. The beginning of the trend Augmented human has started with actual technologies that push the limits of a healthy human body. We allready hear talks about designer babies. Technology let's blind or deaf people see or hear again. The first people with implants that provide more convenience or push the limits of their healthy body are there already.
