The next big bang: Man meets machine

The links between bits, atoms, neurons and genes could change the way we work, move and think. For some, that day isn't too far off.

Robots will not take over and this proves it

A certain point where biology is more efficient.

Because of the organic nature of biology with many different types of molecules working together it saves on space and repair techniques. Cyber is sometimes more bulky yet you have more control.

Robotics with organic parts in them.
Usually with Cyber or synthetics, they are less fragile then organics. So with durability in mind, you would have to rebuild the organics more often if it 'dies.'

So this puts to rest the theory that these steal clad robots are going to take over society and outmode organics OR were all just going to upload to cyberspace. We have to completely rethink our world as worrying if this Tech Singularity is going to happen and somehow Cyber is going to take over.
People refer to humans interacting with synthetics in such a way as to greatly enhance their life in a large way as Post-Humans or Post-Human society

Don't sell yourself short

Intelligence is intelligence no matter where it is housed. It is perfectly possible in theory for another form of intelligence to exist without breathing. With the intelligence of how to learn, build, repair, and use logical judgement; I don't see why a mechanical entity with a neural network could not sustain itself. While it is not my dream to be uploaded into a database. It certainly seems to be a possibility over the next one hundred years.
