Devices are inching towards Bionic Humans - Artificial Finger with tactile sense
Artificial devices are now being built with sensors to feed back to the central nervous system.
This artificial finger integrates nanoscale electromechanical systems, sensory motor neuroscience, biotechnology, and robotics to create this tangible innovation.
This is exciting, fascinating and scary(?)
This is the kind of activity the multi disciplinary lot in CE should go for.
Here is a video of R&D from Europe.

Ankita KatdareThis is one of the best usage of the field of bio-and-nano-technology. A lot of research is going on in this field and it feels great to read and watch stories about patients replacing their fingers, palms and other body parts, while experiencing less pain and increased mobility.

sauravgoswamiRecently in Australia, a bionic eye was implanted, she could see a white light, baby-steps but soon humans will be converted into humanoids ;-)

VassilyaBrief story:
I took a life/health insurance class accreditation course to educate myself and we spoke briefly on ways in which life insurance policies were grouped to spread loss and minimize risk to reduce cost to eligible peer groups. An idea occurred to me then, so I raised my hand and asked:
"Will cyborgs be getting their own peer group? Will health insurance cover mechanical tune-ups on robotic parts?"
I got a blank look from the teacher, and laughs from the rest of the class.
I guess they thought I was joking, but we'll see 😀
