Beyond Human (2008)

Beyond Human, a 2008 documentary, dives into the fascinating intersection of biology and technology.

As humans become more machine-like, and machines more human, the line between the two blurs.

Over centuries, scientists speculated about tapping into the body’s electrical system to restore lost functions or enhance our powers, akin to machines.

This documentary unravels the tumultuous journey of merging humanity with technology.

Science fiction has long fixated on the Cyborg—the fusion of man and machine. Today, we’re steadily merging with our technology.

Devices enhance our senses, knit us together in new ways, and create a unique tapestry of human-technology interaction.

Imagine machines walking among us, expressing thoughts and emotions, demanding their rights. Creatures of silicon and steel now breathe intelligence and life.

The stark reminder: we’re designing a world where androids coexist with us.

Researchers in isolated labs worldwide tackle the bold challenge of building functional humanoids. These robots grasp, hear, see, and navigate our world.

Their emotional and psychological dimensions help them communicate in ways we understand.

Technology increasingly blurs the difference between humans and their creations. A new age of Cyborgs and Androids may well be upon us.

So, when it comes to the fusion of biology and technology, let’s embark on this journey—a world where resilience and curiosity intertwine.
