What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?
-
A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man's War. I love the brain pal concept in it.

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?
Full cyborgisation. Just not one made by any capitalist entity.

I've often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone's name or what exactly happened when.

"Hey asshole!"
Love it.Iove technology, so I was shocked at that part that someone would name their computer like that. But the character is 75 years old, so it makes sense.

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 cortical stack that allows me to upload my brain to a computer, and make back ups or forks of myself.
Maybe store project-related stuff in a subdirectory of the project repo, and make everyone on the team get that so I can finally read the other guy's code.

New skin. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just less scars and a better fit.

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.

I'd rather not need sleep at all, with the option to do it sometimes for skipping time
But sleep is the best part of this dumpster-fire of a reality.

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.

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.

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.
Ability to any calculations in my head at all would be nice, now that I think about it.

None cause if I have to blast all the synths out there I don’t wanna lose pieces or, worse yet, die

Where would that be a significant upgrade over entering the numbers on a calculator?

I want to give birth to our techno overlord's robot babies.

Mechanical “eyes” that correct my vision.
