Terry suggested that future humans might be augmented by hardware. Jeff has suggested this as a topic a few weeks ago, so should we go with it?

Looks like fun. 
Jeff, do you want to moderate the discussion?

Remember him?  The  "handicaped man" who was claimed to be too fast to compete fairly against people with legs.

Yep.He was in the news recently. Up for parole release on January 5th. 
I don’t see him playing point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks but he sure was fast. 

The challenge for bionic prosthetics is to make them all-purpose with sensory feedback on both position and touch sensation to create a coherent integrated predictive internal model of self. Phantom limb phenomena after amputations show that we don’t even need our limbs to (mis)perceive their presence (once our internal models are well-formed). Our limbs and nervous systems are phenomenal machines. -t
