Cyborg Taking Humans To a New Level. 3 Cheers To Our Futuristic Living Beings!

Bio technology is one of the fieldz that is making a huge impact on the future of humanity. We have already seen how bio technology has impacted the mainstream with the invention of wearable devices that can track our heart rate and other vital signs. Now, many people are working on this field to take it to a new level and becoming modern day cyborgs. Some of them are good but some are really freaky.

With  the arrival of this technology, we could say that we have stepped into the future. A future which is not marked by jet packs or flying cars but devices that enhance human abilities.
