The convergence of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science (NBIC) is creating a set of powerful tools that have the potential to significantly enhance human performance as well as transform society, science, economics, and human evolution. As the NBIC convergence becomes more understood, the possibility that we may be able to enhance human performance in the three domains of therapy, augmentation, and designed evolution will become anticipated and even expected. 2, record 1, English, - convergence%20of%20nanotechnologies%2C%20biotechnologies%2C%20information%20technologies%20and%20cognitive%20sciences
