Human augmentation and human restoration

I saw this from Gartner via this post from RWW this morning outlining the current 2010 enterprise hype cycle. Fascinating stuff, but there are a couple of things on there I had very little idea about, one of which was human augmentation and enhancement, right at the bottom of the cycle. So I went on a bit of a search and found the video below which is pretty amazing stuff. It's over an hour long, but it's well worth the watch.
