"We already augment our intelligence by using computers: A quick Internet search helps us find information faster than ever before. Perhaps in the not so distant future, we'll be augmenting our intelligent directly, through implants or other direct connections between your brain and machines, something envisioned for decades in science fiction, from William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel 'Neuromancer' to the film 'The Matrix.'
Ray Kurzweil envisions a future where there are no sharp distinctions between human and machine. 'You're not going to be able to walk into a room in 2035 and say humans on the left side of the room, machines on the right. You'll have a hard time finding a human who doesn't have extensive amounts of technology inside them in the form of nanobots and other systems that are keeping them healthy and also extending their range of experiences and their intelligence.'" /CNN.com/
