Cyborgization of human body as the implementation of modern innovative technologies

The article considers a cyborgization process meeting the demands of modern people who need additory physical capacities for their body and intelligence. We analyze cyborgization cases and discover demands origination causes which form a request for human body change. It is pointed out that cyborgization is meant to help people to exist within the conditions of changing information world view and a new technological reality. Innovation has both positive and negative sides. The increasing flow of information precludes from comprehensively sensible solution of the human body cyborgization problem in the light of modern innovation. The problem solution lies in the development of sociological research on the subject of cyborgization process.
