First, Pearson suggests, we'd become a species called Homo cyberneticus, a human species that's slightly assisted by some silicon enhancements. As this species proves successful, we'd use the practice more, to the point where our "brain" was entirely computer-based. This species would be known as Homo hybridus, as it would have a body similar to ours. But Pearson foresees one major flaw with Homo hybridus -- eventually, the organic parts of the individual would wear out and die. This will lead to the rise of Homo machinus; this species will be made entirely out of silicon and will essentially have immortality. The brain will be able to back itself up, and parts will be repaired or replaced.

I want to go back to the stone age please.

Thats not what the dinosaur would do!

It's not going to happen in our lifetimes, or it will, at the end of them...

It sounds slightly ridiculous... but when you think about it, we really could be headed that way.

Maybe when I die at age 102 people will be sticking microchips to their foreheads.
