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.
If it were guaranteed safe, I would get a regulator installed to control level of sleep. Something that could send you to sleep quickly and send a wakeup impulse at a designated time. Sleep qualify would be a game changer
I’ve always wanted a [prehensile tail] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensile_tail), cyber or natural.
Speak any Human language
I’ve thought for many years that the first true cybernetics will be artificial eyes. If they can get self contained optic systems that fit into the eyeball space, it should be trivial to allow them to see a much wider spectrum, plus macro and telephoto. That would be cool. A computer interface for them would be awesome, but I’d have trust issues with that as well.
There are already cybernetic implants. I think pacemakers count as them.
Probably so
a HUD would be cool with a bionic eyes I think, so i could ‘see’ a list of stats. temperature, barometric pressure, direction of sound origin, my to do list, personal vitals like BP and heart rate, I could go on.
that would unfortunately have the same inherent trust issues as any company that made them would surely try to phone home with that data and probably try to insert ads and shit too.
Right now my tinnitus is killing me soooo CyberEars … but if they comes with a subscriptions I’ll support my old one
slow down my brain on demand so boring repetitive tasks feel fast forwarded.
A hearing implant that works by audio mixing rather than just raising volume. I’m not deaf, but I have trouble filtering out background noise.
auditory processing disorder? I suspect I have that too.
Yeah I think I either have been officially diagnosed with it as a kid or suspected of having it.
functional ovaries
I don’t want a pill. I want a full organ integrated into my body that releases hormones responsive to my body’s natural rhythms and diet and environment.
I don’t care if it’s via cybernetic augmentation or a stem-cell grown uterus combo package.
Bionic eyes, mine are shit
Immediately came here to say TAKE MY EYES! My nose can’t take much more of this spectacles bullshit.
My first thought to since my eyes suck. I’d also like some features attached like zooming, able to change eye colors, maybe see in different light spectrums.
How can your eyes suck
My mouth suck
They suck at sucking in visual info
Same even if they only give me 20/20 vision
Subdermal armour. Like a flexible, slash-resistant, heatproof mesh under the skin. I work in a kitchen so it’d be nice to be able to ignore those pesky little nicks and burns.
And you could moonlight as a shadowrunner.
That’s all I want, chummer!
Vital sign monitoring system
Usb in something like my finger so i can connect to any pc and use it with my brain
Robotic limbs, mainly because its kind of a dream of mine to create affordable, diy-capable working prosthetics for people who cant afford them, especially if theyre for children/teens who seemingly double in size every half year.
Wouldn’t mind something that would fix my tinnitus.
New legs. Not special ones, just new ones that aren’t shit. Man that sounds like a downer. I’ll take a mechanical hand that doesn’t hurt when I forget to take breaks from drawing for 12 hours. And some ocular implant to tell me the name of that person who just waved at me and who clearly knows me.
I can think of other things that sound cool on paper but I’ve consumed enough media to know that they’re VERY bad ideas and not worth it.
Something like an eidetic memory chip would be splendid.
