In an age where technology continues to shrink, we constantly search for new ways to better fit devices into our purses and pockets, around our wrists and strapped to our heads. It wasn’t until recently we began exploring the possibilities of implantable technology, and with that came what might be the world’s very first cyborg.
In a recent interview with CNN, readers were introduced to Neil Harbisson, the world’s first legally recognized cyborg. Harbisson, 32, has an antenna implanted into his skull that provides him with the ability to perceive color, something he was born without. He even has a photo of his UK passport with the device, effectively sanctioning it as part of body.
