What is the Biodigital Convergence
The "Biodigital Convergence" is the merging of digital technology with the human body as well as every living thing on earth, such as trees, plants, and animals. It also includes incorporating digital technology into entire ecosystems. The purpose is to connect everyone and everything to a wireless grid spanning the entire globe. This grid can be monitored, controlled, accessed and manipulated remotely.

Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno
A concept associated with the Biodigital Convergence is Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno (NBIC), which encompasses the converging of nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, information technologies, and cognitive science technologies. These are the four, sometimes overlapping, broad categories that make up NBIC. Of these four, nanotechnologies are the most prominent. Nanotechnology, along with the other technologies, are discussed more in depth on the following pages.
