most of the human race will have become cyborgs [part human, part tech or machine].

That's a broad definition. Is Tommy John a cyborg? Under the more common understanding, I don't see it.

I’m a cyborg.
My heart is literally operated by a computer.
I do periodic data dumps, reprogramming, battery changes, and system upgrades.

I don’t recommend such technical modifications without good reason, but appreciate that sometimes they’re necessary to continue life ... and can catch & mitigate other issues in the process (_walking_ into ER with atrial fibrillation just doesn’t happen, but I did thanks to the pacer).

Gonna be a while before enhancements are done for enhancement’s sake, beyond medical necessity.
But they will happen.
