The connection between the body and the artificial things becoming more common and functional, and are helping to expand humancapacities. In 2002, Jesse Sullivan becomes an example of that, when in The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago doctors outfitted him with a bionic right arm that can be controlled by his thoughts.

The case of Jesse Sullivan becomes a proof of how technological advances help ordinary people who find in these substitutes a new opportunity.
Nowadays, progress inbiotechnology does not stop. Currently, scientists and doctors are developing research projects that seek to incorporate tiny robots to the human body. The Nanotechnology has limitless possibilities toimprove the human abilities, the nano-particles can be injected into the bloodstream and can cure diseases at the cellular level. In addition, the nano-chips are another technology that is helpingscientists. They are a mini chip that can be implanted under the skin and can store any information. Further, scientists created with this nano-chip an implant to make new nerve connections in the...
