Well if we look to a future where humans and machines are physically linked more closely together, sure it does frighten people. They say 'wow, this is science fiction - it's not real science!' I don't think that we should necessarily be too scared. There's a lot of unknown there but an awful lot of advantages and scientifically it all seems to be a possible and even sensible way to go.
........
I think it becomes very difficult to tell the difference as to what is human and what is machine. Both physically and mentally.
If we're linking together as one which seems a natural way to go, we just have to get used to a different way of looking at things. A different lifestyle. That we're not only part human but also part machine.
