Episode Synopsis

Human Augmentation (HA) is centered on enhancing cognitive and physical abilities through the integration or enhancement of bodily functions using technology. Instances of such augmentations encompass genetic alterations, pacemakers, prosthetic limbs, wearable technology, and chip implants. It is important to distinguish between a technological tool and a form of technological augmentation. For instance, while a laptop does not qualify as an augmentation, a smartphone, particularly a smartwatch, can be classified as one.
