Me, cyborg...

[Angrboda]

Yeah. I'm missing nine fingers. I wouldn't mind a little augmentation. Perhaps an extra set of arms, too.

it would be good to have a second face ... or even more

If the robotic parts are used to extend my abilities, making me carry on what I find very hard or even impossible to carry on in the normal conditions, then sure. Under one condition: that cyborg parts are only used in extreme cases.

For example, artificial body suite for walking long distances in the cases if disability. Currently, I already feel like a cyborg when I use a smart phone's notepad to recall details or bluetooth headphones, frankly the concept is very old, all it's witnessing is new applications and extensions to what it used to do: in other words it gets updated, that's all.

Humans are meant to use elements of the universe to their advantage, their way of doing it has advanced to cyborgs.

So would you  like to be a cyborg and be connected to your computer, control things through your thoughts

If it doesn't affect my free will - yes! Especially if it will prolong my life artificially or even make me unaging. I wanna see the whole progress of man kind and 100 years are not enough for that.

Just thinking about what might be possible in the near future.  I like the idea of computer memory storage and some way of recording everyday life events that we see.

I can't say this is my original idea, I watched an episode of blackmirror which was all about these people who had implants and could record their memories and look back and study events that previously happened.

I kind of already do this in work anyway, I have access to security cameras and whatever they recorded.  I like to look back and study people's body language including my own in social interactions.  But they aren't the best quality and you can't really see facial expressions or any details like that. 

I really hate maths too.  So some kind of direct mental hands free access to a calculator would probably come in handy for me.

I watch videos about all this type of stuff a lot.  Augmented reality, robot suits.  I think it's either all going to happen.  Either that or we'll go the other way, civilization as we know it will collapse and we'll all be living like lawless cavemen, and women.

If it were an option.....I;d like to live out my life au- natural, and then have my brain kept alive in a motherfucking SC Dragoon!

I agree with the fact that what the world of technology gives us we should use in our favor, improve our life but not replace us with machines which could master our mind... i would like to stay a human until the endof my life

"If it doesn't affect my free will" - yes! this is exactly what i think... still to keep my free will!

[pocaracas]

Is your will ever free?

[KittyAnn]

Is your will ever free?

while I have a choice ... then yes i have my  free will ..
but if I lose this opportunity, I'll be slaved by drugs or another person who won't allow me to make a conscious decision, then yes my free will is limited and I can even say that I lost it..
