MYOB futurist predict 'The Augmented Human'

In the future, people - certain people - may be able to download information directly into a device embedded in their skull and linked to their brain. These people will also be capable of improved physical performance, courtesy of pods embedded in their bodies and controlled by a link to the brain that can release chemicals or hormones to enable performance of all kinds of tasks, even in extreme conditions. That's what awaits us as biology and technology blend together, says business software developer MYOB Group in its latest Future of Business report entitled, appropriately, 'The Augmented Human'. MYOB chief technical officer and futurist Simon Raik-Allen says technology will move from mobile, wearable technological devices such as Fitbits to tiny embeddable devices that can provide real-time data or move parts of the body. Artificial intelligence (AI) will enable people to enhance their brain or personality.
