Cyborgs? Do you think we will become these in the future. I myself think that it is inevitable that we use cypernetic technology to advance ourselves. It has already started.
What do you reckon? Do you think we will? And if yes, what things we will have upgraded. Better eyesight? Reflexes? To be able to control over nervous system?

It is a relative certainty to a point. Advances in regenerating living tissue would probably become the prefered method for the replacement of damaged or unreliable tissue. Until the human race evolves into beings of pure energy of course.

Using a loose definition of the word many people could claim to be cyborgs right now. Look at how common synthetic limbs are. Look at how many people live because of heart pacemakers. Look at how many people have had one eye replaced with a high intensity laser emitter!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill
