         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhuman on the Horizon" is that technology improves people's lives. A quote that supports my answer is"Those limbs don’t just react mechanically to pressure. They actually respond to the thoughts and intentions of their owners…" This quote shows that these limbs are getting so good humans have a bionic arm that is basically a human arm.  Another quote that supports my answer is "They're going to enhance our abilities giving us powers we never had before and augmenting our capabilities we have." This quote illustrates that these technological limbs won't just give us body parts, but will also improve our mental and physical abilities while even giving us new ones we never had before. This is why the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhuman on the Horizon" is that technology improves people lives.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the horizon?" is that the author believes that technology has become more advanced to improve many lives. In paragraph 7 the author states, "The age when protheses were largely inert pieces of wood, metal, and plastic is passing. Advanced in microprocessors, in techniques, to interface digital technology with the human nervous system." This evidence shows how protheses was not as advanced or developed back in the day but technology is more advanced so now humans have to do less work. In paragraph 12 the author also states, " Working to find a way to repair this sort of brain damage , researchers in 2011 created a "hippocampus chip" that can replace damaged brain tissue. When they implanted it in rats with a damaged hippocampus, they found that not only could their chip repair damaged memory - it could improve the rats ability to learn new things." This evidence shows how scientists are trying to find a way to create something that could help everyone in this case people with a destroyed hippocampus, so their memory can be restored with other abilities. Overall, the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the horizon?" is that the author believes that technology has become more advanced to improve many lives. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?", by Ramez Naam, is to elucidate his opinion on how technology and bionic counterparts are improveing peoples lives. In paragraph 6 of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?", it states, "Those limbs don't just react mechanically to pressure. They actually respond to the thoughts and intentions of their owners, flexing, extending, gripping, and releasing on mental command." This quote highlights how the author believes technology can improve people's lives is because bionic counterparts are even more advanced, especially since they can react to the thoughts of its owner and move based on its cognition. For example, if a person has a bionic counterpart (as its arms), and wants to grip a water bottle, the intentions of the person would be sent to the bionic counterpart and physically grip the water bottle. Another detail that illustrates this central idea is shown in paragraph 12 of "The Superhuman Frontier", it states, "Working to find a way to find a way to repair this sort of brain damage, researchers in 2011 created a "hippocampus chip" that can replace damaged brain tissue." This quote also highlights how the author believes that technology can improve people's lives because of how researchers have found a chip for a damaged hippocampus can enhance it, especially since the hippocampus is an important part of our brain, vital for short and long term memories. When it is damaged, we have trouble creating those memories and it can cause problems. This chip is also shown to be proven well, also stated in paragraph 12, "When they implanted it in rats with a damaged hippocampus, they found that not only could their chip repair damaged memory-it could improve the rats' ability to learn new things." This quote is shown as evidence for the previous quote because it not only proves that the hippocampus chip can repair damaged memories, it has additional benefits, leading to an ability to learn new things. Therefore, in the text, "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?", by Ramez Naam, is for the author to elucidate his opinion as to why he believes why technology and bionic counterparts can improve people's lives.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the horizon" by Ramez Naam is that he believes that technology improves the lives of people . In paragraph 10 it states " These new prostheses aren't just going to restore missing human abilities. They're going to enhance our abilities, giving us powers we never had before, and augmenting other capabilities we have. This quote from the text shows that with technology it can restore human abilities that we already have that are damaged, it will also enhance them to allow us to do things that we couldn't do before. Another quote is in paragraph 5 where it states "Consider the thought-controlled bionic leg that Zac Vawter used to climb all 103 floors of Chicago's Willis Tower" This shows that Zac was able to do stuff he couldn't do before with his bionic leg such as walk up 103 floors. In conclusion, the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?" is that the author believes that technology improves people's lives.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon" is the possibility that bionic parts can enhance human capabilities through bionic technology. A quote from the article is, "Scientists at Wake Forest University implanted specialized brain chips in a set of monkeys and trained those monkeys to perform a picture matching game. when the implant was activated it raised their score by an average of 10 points on a 100 point scale." This shows how the brain implants improved the monkeys brain so much it improved by 10 points each time.</p><p>Another quote from the article states, "Scientist have shown that a monkey with a brain implants can control a robot arm 7,000 miles away." This shows how much implants and technology has improved over the years so much people can control not only with their mind, but from a far distance. In conclusion the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon" is the possibility that bionic parts can enhance human capabilities through bionic technology.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?" is how bionic enhancements can improve humans lives. The author states in paragraph 8, "She let researchers implant a small device in the part of her brain responsible for moter control. With that device, she is able to control an external robotic arm by thinking about it." This quote shows that having that chip implanted helped her regain control of her arms, and also helped researchers with the experiment so now they can reach out to more people who may need that chip implant so they can also have the privilege to move their arms, or any body part again. The author also states in paragraph 2, "Around 220,00 people worldwide already walk around with cochlear implants, devices worn around the ear that turn sound waves into electrical impulses shunted directly into the auditory nerve." This quote shows how common bionic enhancements are and how helpfull they can be for tons of people worldwide. All in all, the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?" is how Bionic enhancments can improve people lives.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the horizon?" is that technology improves peoples lives.</p><p>in paragraph two through 3 it states "Around 220,000 people worldwide already walk around with cochlear implants- devices worn around the ear that turn sound waves into electrical worn around the ear impulses shunted directly into the auditory nerve. Tens of thousands of people have been implanted with brain stimulators. devices that send an electrode tunneling several several inches into the brain. Deep brain stimulators are used to control Parkinson's disease". This quote demonstrates that so much people worldwide use technology that improve the defects that they have like parkinson's disease or if they are hard of hearing they have cochlear implants. Moreover in paragraph five it states "Consider the thought-controlled bionic leg that Zac Vawter used to climb all 103 floors of Chicago's Willis Tower". This quote illustrates that Zac Vawter completed a challenging task by the use of a thought-controlled bionic leg. To sum it up The central idea of the informational text "Are Bionic Superhumans on the horizon?" is that technology improves peoples lives.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

In paragraph 3, it states, "Deep brain stimulators are used to control Parkinson's Disease, though lately they've also been tested-with encouraging results-in use against severe depression and OCD". This quote demonstrates that Parkinson's Disease, which is a disease that makes bones weak and makes someone shake excessively, can be treated with brain stimulators while stimulators can also treat OCD and depression which improves many people's lives. In addition, paragraph 6 states, "Or even the more sophisticated i-Limb Ultra, an artificial hand with five independently articulating artificial fingers. Those limbs don't just react mechanically to pressure. They actually respond to the thoughts and intentions of their owner". This quote illustrates that technology is making advanced limbs that react to the owners intentions and have five independent moving fingers which can improve people’s life if they unfortunately don't have a hand and need one. To sum it all up, the central idea of "Are Bionic Superhumans on the Horizon?" by Ramez Naam is that he believes that technology improves people's lives.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>
