Biohacking has evolved significantly over the years. At first, biohacking was focused on home-based biology experiments. They built makeshift labs to perform biology outside of institutional settings.
The growing popularity led to diverse interpretations of biohacking. The concept evolved to include mental clarity, physical performance, and longevity. The quantified self movement helped fuel this next phase.
At the same time, more extreme methods began to emerge. These included RFID chip implants, magnetic finger implants, and sensory upgrades. They challenge conventional ideas about body limits and autonomy.
Now, the field includes both corporate-backed wellness tech and DIY enthusiasts. To enthusiasts installing neural interfaces to control devices with thought, it has become both a tech movement and a cultural phenomenon.
With CRISPR and AI, the limits of biohacking continue to expand. The drive for peak performance and longevity will fuel its future growth.
