Imagine having an IP address of yourself, which not only serves as your identity but an all-in-one utility for all your routine and non-routine tasks such as paying bills, managing finances, opening a bank account or running one, casting your votes, filing your return, getting driving directions, and most important of all, a character certificate of sorts having a record of your past describing how many times you broke traffic rules or whether you were ever involved in a criminal activity.

You have already seen Cyborgs being built by human or by machines in some very famous Hollywood movies, but in my opinion, someday, WE WILL TURN OURSELVES INTO CYBORGS!!. The idea might seem directly "inspired" from some trashy sci-fi Hollywood movie, but I think it is going to happen not very far from the near future.
How!? Read on:
The present state of evolution involving us humans is consequence of a series of some giant leaps in technology, right from the invention of fire, wheel, and simple machines to airplanes, rockets, and satellites, and with the most recent advent being in the field of communication, the technology has never ceased to amaze us.
A few decades ago came the computers; computers that were so huge that you needed airplanes to carry a 5 MB hard-drive. Since then, they have only been shrinking. Now, they are so small that you are carrying them in your pockets. Whether they are simplifying our lives or complicating them even further is a question of debate, but one thing is for sure, they are making us dependent, so dependent that we feel handicapped without them. We are using them to book tickets, check bank balance or transfer money, pay bills, and host of other tasks that otherwise needs a lot of time and efforts.
