A two-part report on the blurring of biology and technology. Part 1, "The Body Electric," looks at advances in bioengineering. Included: electronic devices that help paralyzed, blind and hearing-impaired people. On the horizon: a brain implant that will "read out" thoughts and computers "so tiny that they will blend into our world, so strong they can change it," says narrator Joe Morton. Adds Gregory Stock of UCLA: "We are aggregating into a super organism glued together by all our technology."
