Q&A

Of Augmentation and Androidisation

+0
−0

Assume that in the future, mankind develops Augmentations ala Deus Ex, where robot bits are strapped onto people in an attempt to improve them and their quality of life. This will eventually lead to the logical extreme, where everything that a machine could do better will be left to a machine to do.

So, what is the logical end game? Will augments eventually lead to people who are basically just Robots with human brains? Or are there any other organs/bodyparts that we have that we wouldn't replace? If so, why?

Bonus points if an answer actually states that even brains are unnecessary and gives good reasoning.
