Here's lurkette's cybernetic wishlist (I'm one of the "hell yeah, sign me up" people):
- a wetwired neural uplink to the web. Instant information.....mmmmmmmm....I could browse the web during boring meetings, on planes, in waiting rooms, etc. Streaming audio directly into the auditory system. Too fucking cool.
- chameleon skin/hair. They're working on paint that is basically bunches of teeny lcd's - it could change colors with a remote control. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your skin. I could have spots, stripes, plaid, instant makeup, instant tan, be white white white. Purely cosmetic (unless you're using it for camouflage) but very cool.
- retractable titanium finger blades (but like Molly from Neuromancer, not like Wolverine from X-Men). Nobody'd better fuck with me
- I like Tophat's nano-scrub idea. Never have to worry about asthma again. I could have symbiotes that live in my lungs and automatically inject/spray anti-inflammatories into my lung tissue/airway if I start having an attack. Come to think of it, there's some new research that shows the brain knows you're going to have an asthma attack before you start to experience symptoms. It could trigger release of indwelling albuterol nanosites before the circulating eosinophils get to your lung tissue.
