      I don’t think so! Biology is far more powerful that human-made materials. Our bodies evolve and change and adapt to the environment it’s subjected to. I think we’ll still be fully fleshy and human!

      I don’t think it’s going to be exactly like that, but as Elon Musk also mentioned it is very likely that people are going to be cyborgs (having both organic and biomechanics body part). I think that would happen.

      People already have hip replacement, hearing aids, pace makers and much more. Those are just to restore and help people. If the tech becomes better than a human body we might end up with the Borg or more like the game Deus Ex. But those are a long way away.
