Thirty plus years ago Bionics was just a part of science fiction. Today, it might just be possible. If any of our visions of technological revolution come true, its none other than “Bionics”. Every year, the discoveries made are having profound effect on the lives of people all around the world.
If we look at some interesting examples regarding Bionics, 30 years ago, the potential for deaf children to communicate verbally was greatly diminished. Now with bionic ears and educational support, people with even a profound hearing loss can speak clearly and confidently. Bionic eyes have already restored basic sight for people with certain conditions, artificial limbs now became a reality and other advances are now on the horizon.
We are living in a technological new world, one that brings hope to those who through birth or by accident have lost function to parts of their body. Not only in defense forces people suffer from loss of limbs but this can happen anywhere to anyone as a result of accidents and illnesses, thus making the life of the person miserable. Today, bionics has progressed to an amazing level and has truly improved the lives of many people. Thanks to the staggering technological advances being made in the field of bionics, future amputee (a person who has had a limb amputated) will move with the same ease as everybody else. Now that's science fiction worth believing!
