ABSTRACT
Reputable technologists and scientists have voiced worry that robots may take over the earth. More broadly, there is worry that robots will replace human workers and result in long-term unemployment for billions of people. However, these worries ignore the possibility that people may use in-body technology to augment their inherent skills, turning into cyborgs with powers that surpass those of robots. Cyborgs include people with mass-produced medical application, people with mass-imagined body hacks, and those with mass-produced, individually designed insideables. This study uses the theoretical frameworks of mass paradigms, technological domestication, and cultural capital to examine human improvement with in-the-body technologies. Discussions regarding society’s future are affected by the conclusions of these assessments. Specifically, freedom vs extinction, opportunity versus exploitation, and paradise versus dystopia. It is said that discussions of society’s future are incorrect if they place a greater emphasis on robots than cyborgs. This is due to the fact that cyborgs can offer more sophisticated embodied cognition, and their numbers are growing as businesses implement new in-the-body technology and people attempt to boost cultural power through body projects. Therefore, discussions regarding the future of society should take into account the possibility that robots and cyborgs might eventually replace people.
