What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?
-
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?
Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and. 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).

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
I dont like working out either

My wife has Fibromyalgia so I'd love some cybernetic implant to dull her pain. Everything seems to hurt for her and something to block some of that and give some strength back to her hands and muscles would be great
only semi related, but there is some hope for us fibro peeps. There has been a lot of recent discoveries showing the autoimmune pathways of fibro and some of what may cause the issue. and we know for sure it is autoimmune now.
it isnt definitive answers but it IS progress and a heck of a lot more than we have had before!

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.

And you could moonlight as a shadowrunner.
That's all I want, chummer!

Yeah Exoskeletons; My left knee, I fecked that up many years ago and carrying a multi day pack can get sore. Also lt left shoulder, I fecked that up last summer (I think there may be a post or two in my history) and it now has pins in it and is still not right.
On the more extreme probably augmented vision, uv through to ir?
Check out how far consumer devices are already
I think its very likely we'll see a fit for you in our lifetimes. It'll be affordable too tho probably still a bit clunky due to battery tech limitations.
For vision the possibilities are endless but here the dangers are as well. Obviously the instinct will be augment vision with artificial objects and thats such a slippery slope. Tho I'd just take auto polarized lenses that are comfortable first.

A great SciFi book series with this is Old Man's War. I love the brain pal concept in it.

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.
