News: Is technology causing us to 'evolve' into a new SPECIES?


This article talks about the prediction that Dr Ian Pearson made. The futurologist said that humans  will be able to combine himself with computers and evolve to Homo optimus species by 2050. This would be possible thanks to technology progress. The news also explains that the new species, a mix of human and computer, will have superior senses, memory and also intelligence.
"We will be able to connect directly with technology through 'electronic skin' or tiny implants between our skin cells."-said Dr Pearson.
To sum up, Dr Pearson believe that humans will be technologically better (he claims transhumanism) and that we could also have talking pets (like 'real-life Furbies').

In my opinion, this article is so much optimistic. It's hard to belive tech can evolve that much in a short period of time. But if it could be possible, I won't support it. Basicaly because I think human is the only SPECIES that can lead world. If we mix with computers, we will lose our empathy, so we will be cold androids. So I don't belive this prediction is possible (at least in the next century), but if it could hapen, I will not agree with that.
