In a rather revolutionary research, Yuval Noah Harari, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has come up with a study, claiming that in the next 200 years, humans would upgrade themselves and become 'Cyborgs'.

A cyborg is a theoretical or fictional being with both organic and biomechatronic parts. The term was coined by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline, in 1960. The term cyborg is often applied to an organism that has restored function or enhanced abilities due to the integration of some artificial component or technology.

According to the professor, "Within the next 200 years, humans will become God-like cyborgs, merging man and machine to live forever".

Being hailed as the 'biggest evolution in biology' in the last four billion years, the technology would transform future humans, to a level that they will be as different from us as we are from chimpanzees.

Harari attributes the transformation to continued human dissatisfaction with the status quo. The human yearning for change would drive them to advance themselves and cyborg technology will came at their rescue. He opines that in the next 200 years, humans will evolve themselves into some kind of divine beings, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering, or by the creation of cyborgs, part organic and part non-organic.

He mocks at man by saying that humans were now abandoning traditional religions and worshipping technology instead. This departure from belief in religion will fuel change to the human race. He said that the Silicon Valley had become the most interesting place in the world, where companies were striving to fuse machines and humans. He said this made it a vital place from the religious perspective now, as it was capable of solving all problems with technology.

He, however, added that it would only be the rich who would be able to invest in such an exorbitant technology, thus, widening the gap between the rich and poor.
