I don’t have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn’t choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to “hear” music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn’t even be upgraded hearing or anything.
So do y’all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?
A monkeys tail! Third hand, balancing, grabbing, etc.
A way to monitor and regulate body chemistry or neural action would be nice. Change and directly see my stress and sleepiness levels, regulate pain at will if necessary etc. I think there would be tons of uses for things like that.
I want to give birth to our techno overlord’s robot babies.
I wanna see the hype about regular colour. I’ve got red green blue yellow colourblindness. I wanna see how things are meant to be coloured.
New skin. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just no more scars and a better fit.
A skin that isn’t trying to kill itself would be pretty high on my list. Along with parts that are falling apart from old age. But I’m not sure those would be augmentations so much as bug fixes.
Some kind of general pain suppression.
You could turn it off, if you’re into that and sometimes pain let’s you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.
Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and a lot of floaters, so many that I cannot even tell if my glasses are clean or not most of the time.
But naturally they’d need to look natural and be with zoom, infrared, night vision, a camera function and a video playing function (no wireless functions though).
Speak any Human language
A magnum dong to go with my magnum condoms.
Mechanical “eyes” that correct my vision.
None cause if I have to blast all the synths out there I don’t wanna lose pieces or, worse yet, die
I want an implant that can regulate body functions and even rejuvenate & regenerate me.
What would that mean?
- Forever young
- Adonis/Venus body
- Some sort of self-healing capability
- Some sort of body-shaping capability
- Possibly immortal
A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).
It’d just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to “Google” my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)
A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man’s War. I love the brain pal concept in it.
extreme cum
Are we talking volume or velocity
Ghost pepper flavor
Is your tolerance upgraded as well or is this a mutually assured destruction situation
yea
A math coprocessor would be nice. Ability to instantly know the answer to equations I see, and ability to do large calculations in my head.
Also, some sort of interface port where I could upload skills or information, matrix-style. And it would have to be a physical port, no fucking way I’d want that available wirelessly.
Where would that be a significant upgrade over entering the numbers on a calculator?
