The boundary between human and machine is increasingly blurring, as technological advancements offer new ways to integrate ourselves with artificial systems. From wearable tech that monitors our vitals to sophisticated prosthetic that restore function, and even brain implants that promise enhanced cognitive abilities, the concept of human augmentation is rapidly evolving.
