Walk again itll soon be time for another head. And he wants to upgrade the new one. From behind him all the things you could do with a hit like that of course by a monitoring would be no problem the bladder neural impulses provide a lot of information and then of course the little gimmicks like a mobile wife i rusa or i could have a smart phone in my pocket next to the artificial hip and it will get charged when i move or from the heat of my blood or i just dont have something healthy removed just now of course not nothings as good as the original you know i think would you think it cool if i only had a wife i wrote on his hip. A Wireless Router for a wife i wherever i happen to be cool. I wouldnt be the rain god youd be the wife i god but you are that already. I dont know nobody would believe me. How do people get such ideas. As i do think when i met their family for as long as ive known him hes wanted to be connected to the internet through a little device on his neck like in Science Fiction as well as a didnt get that hes had this idea ever since ive known him anything thats possible that would upgrade his body he would do it immediately. But as a thought. When. Received his three Artificial Joints you societe the surgeries with pain and feeling old. It would be different if they built in a wireless charger for his smartphone he says. But german law it does not permit implants with supplementary functions so and has been in direct contact with manufacturers for months. In germany an implant is just an implant you dont play with it because its the current view thats what we want to
change we want to reach the people who make these decisions who can also say wait a minute theres a gap that needs to be filled you need to get your foot in the door and if manufacturers dont respond others will. At some time in the future Will Artificial Spare Parts be able to do more than the originals this question obsesses data of my own he was born without the lower half of his left arm and wears a Prosthetic Hand probably the best thats currently available. As im concerned. Basically the Prosthetic Hand cant do anything more than my right hand can do with one exception i can twist the process to Three Hundred Sixty degree this is continuously but its not very practical i always say its my party
trick. But its also very interesting theoretically because of course it shows that even a first static name which in many ways is not as good as the original can be better in other areas in very specific abilities but they. I said. Maya is a social psychologist at the Technical University in kenya hes been studying this desire some people have for artificial bodyparts even though theyre perfectly healthy. I do find it a bit strange when people say in theory im ready to replace the healthy body part with an artificial one because it would make me somehow better of it. I think well frankly being one hundred percent healthy is a privilege that i dont have. On so i think perhaps you should be a bit more aware of what a privilege that is that you enjoy us from cleveland it does this west with. Humans
are weak. And forgetful technology is supposed to liberate them from natures limitations but why take tools in your hands when you can carry them inside yourself. Is this the next logical step to upgrade humans to become stronger faster more perfect. This is the end of human weakness. Or the beginning of the end of humanity. How many dreams of overcoming the limitations of his body with technology. As a small step in this direction he inserts micro implants in his body. December twenty ten at the Chaos Communication Congress left an unnamed gave
a lecture Titled Cybernetics For The Masses explained how you can perform your own implantations at very little cost. Part a lecture mentioned magnet implants. And r. F. Idea. What i became very curious about how magnetic and Electromagnetic Field would feel. Then i decided to do it. Magnet implants dont have much use at the present time they vibrate patrick palins hand for instance when he drives under Electric Power Lines but a Comment You Factor is researching whether drivers could be sent signals via magnetic vibrations for instance in a dangerous situation. React to tactile feelings more quickly than any other sensory data. Patrick powerman lives in
here on the german border he now has five magnets and six chips in his body each chip has its own function. Vantages that i can never lose my keys or have them stolen from me i can never locked myself out. Makes life easier for my hands are full i dont have to dig into my Trouser Pockets to find my keys or look to see which key i need for the door. With another chip how men can log into his computer. The chips operate with the technology known as r f i d radio frequency identification it allows data to be transmitted over a short distance without a battery. Has already ordered another chip the manufacturer says it will eventually include more and more apps which will allow it to do things like send
encrypted email and make payments. Weve already come up with the idea of making eyeglasses lasering developing hearing implants. Were constantly progressing with the Aim Of Making Life easier. I only see advantages. Cyborgs are viewed as eccentrics but the industry believes this will change neil harvey is often invited to talk to telecommunications companies. Thank him for. Drawing some. Of the skin in the air the first one i did was of Prince Charles i
asked him if i could listen to his face and his reaction when i asked him i. Had hair for example. Different shades of. Rights has a melody in his eyes because he has not like a small pattern. Mommy has one note last he has no hair so he has less sounds. Like a stuffed painting very unsaturated. Neil harbison makes a good living from his lectures his Cyborg Existence is it just clever Self Promotion or is he really a social pioneer. Yang twenty thirty years i think it will be strange. Not to have an implant of some sort in the same way that now its very common to see both of those will be fifty years it will be really strange knowledge of a very common to modify our skin it will soon be very common to modify our minds
and. You want to. Force cyborgs the Implantation Process poses a practical problem doctors are not permitted to perform nonmedical surgery thats where he comes in the piercer turns humans into cyborgs. Today its lucy a turn. She wants to have a magnet implanted in her hand. Still quite annoyed. Part thank you yesterday but mainly for professional reasons its been a dressmaker and i dont like paying coaches thats not a kiss and. So a small magnet here on my hand will be very useful to a lot of. Undergoing a procedure like this for such a trifling reason is surprising but he isnt bound by the restrictions that apply
to doctors and doesnt ask too many questions. Its a grey area so its ok as long as the patient signs a contract that she bears all the risks. And implanting magnets carries considerable risk. I have sometimes seen magnets for less reliable firms corrode in the body. Make a road right out of their casing or else they triggered allergic reactions that. Theres no way of knowing how the body will react to magnets it can reject them nerves can be damaged. Some of the people. Its quite uncomfortable. But. The Procedure Costs roughly One Hundred Fifty Euros and takes about ten minutes. It feels like a pulling sensation its pretty strong and. Most people would never dream of implanting magnets or chips in their bodies but keep you know believes that will change. That there are now chips in the beta phase that have more functionality. And i can see that in two five maybe ten years even more useful implants will be invented. Yeah. Something like this are cadia a device that registers heart rate and other physical data. But in a much smaller format. Is as big as a Smartphone Tin Can and from the us had it implanted in his arm in twenty thirteen
everybody my name is jim cameron i just became the first man to lead the device in my body. For the purpose of an answer myself and. Can continuously monitor Body Temperature and heart rate and transmit the data to a smartphone. How many is also interested in this implant. Because ive met him he didnt have the implant any longer but from what i see on the video its quite big. It looks creepy and it was dangerous the batteries could have leaked thats why tin can and had it removed after three months but he wanted to show whats possible. Similar in france are available on a smaller scale. I have an implant in my lower arm which measures my Body Temperature and theres a Temperature Sensor inside. And i have an r f i d device that reads the
champ. Over the. Front of the displays the serial number on the temperature in my lower. Unlike the monitors or Activity Trackers these chips gather the data continuously without you having to think about them. One day robots can circulate in our blood stream and analyze everything whats good for us when. Stressed we could continuously monitor our health and the tech diseases even before they become apparent. But do we want bones the total surveillance of our bodies. As we come and is still waiting for the new chip he ordered the one that will allow
him to encrypt data in the meantime he wants to tweak the chips he already has for that hes going to hack space a Meeting Point for technology freaks in here learn how men founded it himself. At the Drinks Machine he only has to scan his chip and it transmits his data. How many of his friends want to get more and more out of each device. I want to lock and unlock my car without using a cable if you accidentally feed current into this white wire you break the device on this could go wrong because conditions can. Palin has to hack the switch of his Central Lock System so it can read his chip which he tinkers with the device for five hours. Eventually he succeeds. The central Locking System can now read his chip. Now it has to be installed in the car. Its locked. Up. Great now i can throw away the case for. Once again powerman has made his life a little easier now he just has to wait for the chip he orders from the last. Berlin is fighting for his cyborg hip so far the implant manufacturers have given him the
cold shoulder hes decided to seek the support of his orthopedist peter hunter. With the dr agreed to implant an artificial hip equipped with a motion activated device to charge a mobile phone or one containing a mobile wife i router. Has a very dark was ok so in the all the sockets of the hid there would be space for a little gimmick. Certainly that it could easily be built into an Artificial Joerg you just have to watch out for the Radiation Exposure of course thats an ethical issue right thats. Five in the office as its natural laws and ethics play a role but were not just playing around if somebody is going to have an operation like this they can think about whether it could be upgraded
a bit. Of course. The Radiation Exposure could become a problem because the radiation would have to pass through all layers of the skin the implications of that havent been studied yet but the doctor believes in the future of these implants. He turns it off im very open to ideas like this if i dont want to be in favor certainly from the medical Point Of View that it sooner should also when its really useful to the person is nuts not for the ten but if your mother. Is most physicians are very skeptical of the idea of cyborgs its the first time Vakeel Consent has received support from a doctor but where does the compulsion come from to do such a radical thing. And i mean come on that statement so for for gripping your body with technology is a way of making it more efficient and appearing more efficient and perhaps of increasing your own value a bit. Is all that in my own disability has certainly had an impact on my own
selfesteem carries and i know the feeling that a bit of complicated technology can increase your sense of selfworth. So its to be had for lying. In this future humans will be able to redesign their own bodies what will it be like when we all know everything about each other immediately when tiny robots inside us monitor our blood and when the distinction between online and offline has blurred. A Brave New World will it be like when humans first invented tools and life became easier or will it become a competition for the best in the land and what about people who refuse such implants will this produce another divide like the one between rich and poor privileged and the disadvantaged. In sweden the idea of sideboards is more commonplace. Enterprise is holding an employer. Taishan party. The guest list includes many from stockholms creative scene. They can upgrade their bodies at the party or with. The blood the founder of a Bio Hacker Group came up with the idea. Bio hackers refuse to accept biology and the limitations of nature. They want to upgrade their bodies with technology. Today so your blood is promoting r f i d chips the same chipset patrick pound carries in his body. I mean it works like this when youre most we are skeptical about things we dont really understand right but if you explain how it works without a good things what about things what are the dangers when then most people are simply comfortable with it so this is what i tried to do im not in the business of
selling implants i just like to share the insights i have. Getting a chip implanted in sweden costs about the same as in germany around One Hundred Twenty euros. The chips are made of bio glass so that the body doesnt reject them and if the size of a grain of rice held right youll feel it is one of the first who wants to give them a try. Very much nervous that im washing. Its not worth being given birth so im thinking my thoughts im trying everything once you only live once the lot of. Them i take out tomorrow no for the love of the spirit. Of the. Five seconds later hello young is chipped to hopefully i can open my door with that i have to call the Insurance Company and there are the people delivering the door and see if i can open that with. A large number of people who get chips implanted dont know exactly what to do with
a Company Representative explains how they can save passwords for their. Business cards on the chips and transmit them to a smartphone with a wave of the hand in theory the data could easily get into the wrong hands still many believe that a good chunk of the population will soon have implants to oversell within five years. With the early adopters early out of Garbage Technology and it may be upcoming generation its all theyre all born with an i pad and i fall under the same thing big i mean my son is six years old. Is due in june or programming on a psychedelic kindergarten so. Stockholms Public Transport Company is even considering letting passengers pay for their tickets with implanted chips. Helen a younger that who just received her first chip thinks thats
a great idea. I lose my things all the time i lose my passport balance manning a bus card my bus my card to the gym if everything to be on face that will be amazing and i hope i hope that will come during next six months but main branch shouldnt be too optimistic. But i guess i will be have be more free from. Elsewhere in stockholm ships are already commonplace the epicenter is a large modern Office Complex in the Central Business district there are dozens of startups here. As a matter of course workers open the doors with chip implants. It was hunted idea he was housed at the Implantation Party and hes the buildings
innovative spirit. I want to question the status quo and yes weve had peace in our pockets all our lives right were used to it but someone has to say we dont need it someone needs to see what is possible to do tomorrow. So far workers have been able to choose the question of course is whether they will still be able to do so in future. I just want to have a community of smart people we learn how this works because if the day comes when a big company launches. The implant or the Swedish Tax Authority excess we would go to Chip Everyone then we would have a group of people who understand this technology and can challenge the uses that they were torah he wants this technology to have on us so for me this is so important with the democrat decision of technology its not just to learn how to use the technology its more important to understand how its being used against
you. What if the data on the chips was accessed by strangers the Orwellian Dystopia the big brother would no longer be fiction. Chips could create the transparent citizen. Back ups from the Chaos Computer Club believes that the Business World and Intelligence Services would be very interested in this data for the. Course theyre very interested in the idea of being able to register people simply as they passed by without having to use Face Recognition or similar techniques to be able to say that was so and so we just walked by there and that to generate Personality Profiles or Movement Patterns at the end of the day these technologies can all be used against us. In berlin he Cookie Cannot has an appointment with
a regular client arena dubois doesnt just want passive chips and magnets in her body but bigger implants that need batteries and were going to be one of the first people because they said theyre going to make a trial for the first two thousand people who Preordered Oh Yeah i guess you will be one of the for. The Parthenon The First One in germany. Yes she wants the north sense a kind of compass the implant is supposed to vibrate whenever she faces north. This is not a device of attachment. This is technology that evolves with. Time. You turn to the memory. Big promises that are weak in great expectations. Of exciting the course of time. You will be just so you know you walk. Or you know you have
a feeling ill have to go out there getting the north and completely transform my perception of travels of discovering cities of maybe i will still get lost but i will kind of know which direction im going in that can really that changes my perception. Doesnt just want more implants shed even replace some body parts i have a hard for ever sure. I guess if if we get to the point where we can exchange body parts then eventually i will have to exchange all of them because they naturally die. Could humans eventually upgrade themselves for immortality. A political scientist at the Current School institute of technology is researching how Cyborg Technologies are influencing our society. If we assume that society remains roughly as it is im very pessimistic that the
socalled refuseniks people who reject these developments can keep resisting. As a simple example i remember people discussed the importance of participating fully in Society Without using the internet. Of course you can refuse to use the internet today but i think it would be difficult even to study without it. The german constitution states that Human Dignity is inviolable. When the boundary between man and machine is blurred what is it that will make us human will Human Dignity ultimately depend on what upgrades we can afford. This Brave New World will bring us Greater Control we will be able to prevent disease put a brake on physical decay but this freedom will require new ethical guidelines and new social morse. Things are not looking
good for only. And his side were kept. He hasnt been able to win over the manufacturers so today hes talking to the Pirates Society where hes a member of the board. Pirate focuses on political education and its members have good contacts among politicians and academics. And hopes to get their support. To live off point ill be grateful for ideas and support from your connections to find other manufacturers as well whether in europe or elsewhere. And for us to say come on guys lets try Something Like this you know for. I dont understand why you want to reach the manufacturers like us they have so you can explain because i think the first thing you need to do the first people you need to talk to are the guys involved in medical ethics and they are not the
manufacturers has to listen to off the. Bus not really if you dont have another issue of course is the legal aspect that you will also not just the Ethics Expert the lawyers thats an incredibly important target group but he does have to get them to think about where the boundaries lie. I think he missed my. You should really be having this discussion with doctors technology and ethical expats not just for a matinee but an entire workshop is my induction so i think that way we could trigger a public debate we would suppose i said this from the start its our issue our new big issue. Turned out great thank you for your reactions cool its really important to me when im here and im really pleased with the Feedback Jarosz for you what of. That is still optimistic. For me if i mean will decide i hope society will take no notice of cyborg as
a whole and that it spreads so that people overcome their fear of failure and is a legitimate fear look that other guy is trying to improve himself with technology and hes doing it and has the advantage over me before that its indisputable that its an issue with cyborgs of it and we need to work on it and demand that society creates the conditions in which the two can coexist and in the best Case Scenario cooperate. Putney powerman has been waiting for this day for months hes come to berlin with a prototype of the american Data Encrypting Chip in his luggage. But im very excited i havent been able to test it yet i hope everything works out. Of
a couple of us. How many wants to get the implant done in he hopes piercing studio. Hi i brought the new implant home. But it arrived yesterday. Perfect timing. They dont yet know if the chip works. When it was tested recently on another volunteer it immediately broke. It off so this is it will be my first time well its quite long isnt it. But relatively flat. I do want to test it first if its able to read or we will see. That means no. Sorry communication was interrupted. Thats all now its reading. Yeah its been recognized as and experienced smart m. C. H. If. So its all systems go. The Prototype Chip is exceptionally large. It cant be injected under the skin like most of the other chips polman has. What implants do you have now moved to the n. F. C. Chip i cant remember the number of fans one and one twenty five or if i did. That for months once i got. Through the procedure takes forty five minutes then powerman has the twelve implant in his body. So so it didnt. Last its an. For power the chip is mainly a status symbol. Guess time around but its a prototype. Its not on the market yet and im one of the beater taskers. A manufacturer asked me if i could test it. Sure. Patrick how men can now encrypt data with a chip and eventually perhaps even make payments with it it certainly wont be his last implant. New harbison also has plans. He wants to receive an implant that is entirely new. Creating an organ that will be circular within the skin in the bone and it will give heat depending on what they were it is so it would take twenty four hours for the heat to go around the head so ill know what time it is by just feeling the heat around the head. But if i have this for several months or years it should become my perception of time so that we will get control of my one time to go faster or slower if i make the hit go slower feel that time go slower or if i want them to go faster you can program it so it goes faster if i make it go twice or the back or thirds theyre going to use those theory of relativity into a sense into an organ to see whether or not you can control your perception of time we have an organ for time. Its doubtful whether we humans can manipulate our sense of time like that but whats certain is that Cyborg Technologies will
transform our society. Imagine two persons meeting in the future. The interaction be like so possibly lets say we have a implant acknowledging that the dogs different process that is going on in the body so i want to stress someone is happy someone is angry if someone is in love and imagine the ability to share this information directly inside someone else i think this would create a greater understanding between people and a greater understanding for what another person is feeling and going through and i hope that this will make us more ethical persons if we have a greater understanding for each other this distinctive its really important not to leave the debate about the social impact of technology to Technologists Engineers and economists its really important to start a public debate about what lies ahead whats conceivable and what effect it could have on our society and thats. One of the limits of
technology and of ethics. It is these boundaries we are only beginning to explore. Top and soft. Realms and about. Down again. We take you to europes most Famous No Boundary just.
