Roboswap: New documentary reveals man and woman who've had technology installed in their bodies including 'eyeborg' who has cured his colorblindness - as Elon Musk's brain chip enters human trials

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

One color-blind artist has had an'eyeborg' antenna implanted directly into his skull to enable him to'hear' color - and his friend has had implants in her feet to allow her to'feel' earthquakes. The two are'transhumanists', a growing movement of people who hope to add new abilities to their bodies using technology - with Elon Musk claiming that technology such as his Neuralink implant could enhance human memories or even allow humans to live forever as man-machine hybrids. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence has sparked a new interest in the idea of surgically modified humans. In a new documentary due out this year, Cyborg, Neil Harbisson, who is the world's first legally recognized cyborg thanks to his color-hearing implant, says, 'This is happening!' and hopes that technology will allow humans to'self-design' their bodies.
