Merging Man with Machine

Singularity is the merging of man and machine. Scientists across the world believe this theory that one’s human body can be merged with cybernetic functions, and allow us to do things that weren’t possible before. Some believe it is a work of science fiction, and that it is highly unlikely that humans will ever merge with machine. I believe that it is pointless. Merging man with machine could be the means of curing many diseases, but it also could control our minds, hurt people tremendously, and cause people to lose their a bit of their humanity.
            Merging man and machine could do more harm than good. The intelligence of these mechanisms that will be installed into human bodies could far surpass that of the average human brain. It could possibly take over our minds completely. There have been many films made about this theory becoming a reality. However, that was science fiction, this is the reality we could possibly be living in.
            This process of merging man and machine could also be quite dangerous to one’s health. Complications could occur during the process of planting mechanics in a human body. It could cause serious harm or even death. This is a big reason why merging man with machine shouldn’t be a to priority. It could do a lot more harm then it would do good.
            Merging man with machine sounds like it could be a scientific breakthrough, innovation, and could be the best thing for mankind. However, it could also cause more damage to the world than it would benefit from. People could literally lose their minds. It would ultimately cause more chaos and harm because of the technology. Merging man and machine should not be a main priority for the world. It isn’t necessary for human progress.

    I too am concerned about technology over taking our minds and free will. What will happen if the technology malfunctions -- do we do away with the human being that the malfunction happened to? Hmm!?

    I agree that the idea of merging man with machines is a risky idea that was ever discussed. Thinking of the possible outcomes that could go wrong very easily can set our species in danger for every attempt they make to put a theory into a realistic moving test subject. In all honesty the merging will not be successful because it is important to think how many lives will be sacrificed during the implant process if the government goes through with this idea.
