In 2015, cyborgs — humans with machine enhancements—are a recognizable reality.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have already fashioned robotic arms that can perform basic motions such as taking a sip of water — motions controlled by human nerves, not following a programmed sequence — and robotic legs are already in the works.
Bionics are still in a primitive stage, where the technology could never be mistaken for natural limbs, but for amputees who had previously relied on immobile prosthetics, robotic limbs are a miracle.
