Nine real technologies that will soon be inside you!

[lockedout]

I want ALL the implants.

There is a sexual innuendo there somewhere.

[Sole-Warrior]

Am I the only one that hates using glasses and wearing contacts? And am concerned with Lasik and the uncomfortable side effects? If you could help me with this problem, that would be great.

[zhero]

smart phones will never be implanted inside of us, there would be too much overhead in getting them upgraded/replaced.

[Sole-Warrior]

Here is my wishlist:
2. Healing chips
3. Cyber pills that talk to your doctor
4. Bill Gates' implantable birth control (in case a woman rapes me, I do not want her to have a child as me as the father)
6. Brain-computer interface (Sounds fun)

As the BrainGate website says, "using a baby aspirin-sized array of electrodes implanted into the brain, early research from the BrainGate team has shown that the neural signals can be ‘decoded' by a computer in real-time and used to operate external devices."

Chip maker Intel predicts practical computer-brain interfaces by 2020.

Intel scientist Dean Pomerleau said in a recent article, "Eventually people may be willing to be more committed to brain implants."

"Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts."

7. Meltable bio-batteries
8. Smart dust This I want BADLY

Perhaps the most startling of current implantable innovations is smart dust, arrays of full computers with antennas, each much smaller than a grain of sand, that can organize themselves inside the body into as-needed networks to power a whole range of complex internal processes.

Imagine swarms of these nano-devices, called motes, attacking early cancer or bringing pain relief to a wound or even storing critical personal information in a manner that is deeply encrypted and hard to hack.

There's already enough lewd innuendo in your thread title.

If there's a chip that lets me give people electric shocks on command from my finger tips sign me up.

I don't mind wearing glasses, I mind cleaning glasses. If there was some instantaneous, cheap, no-side-effect way of making me see clearly without the, then yeah, I'd go for it. Laser eye surgery, to my knowledge, is still unreliable, and requires a lot of recovery time (and a ton of money).

recovery time is very short. i had it done ~8 years ago, could see clearly on the drive home.

I hate it but I don't dare taking the risk of surgery. :l

I look rather dapper in my glasses, so i can't complain.

Only downside is that i tend to sit on them

And OnT where my penis improvement tech at?

[Hyve]

I'm looking forward to the day that one of my Lungs or Kidneys give up, and I'm taken to hospital, and I'm given a brand new pair that have been 3D Printed from my DNA and enhanced with technology and genetic manipulation to make them far more efficient and less prone to issues, all paid for through my taxes thanks to the N.H.S.

As ludicrous as it sounds, we're not actually that far off of it. Think, 60 years ago the idea of putting people on the Moon, the Internet, 3D Printing and so much more would've been laughed at, yet they're common place today (I suppose, not going to the moon). What might another 60 years of innovation bring?

[Xargoth6634]

All of that shit creeps me out. None of that will ever be inside me, no thanks.

Go go gadget penis!!!!!!!!!
On topic, while attacking early signs of cancer would be nice , I don't identify as a conspiracy theorist but I wouldn't want some company having control of my health like that.

Yeah the recovery time and side effects suck, especially considering the effects it has on night time vision. dryness of eyes may persist.

[Xargoth6634]

I'd do lasik, because that doesn't involve tech in my body. How much does that cost per eye these days anyway?

[checking facts]

I predict jokes about high tech dildos coming out any time soon

[Mormolyce]

Not even Smart dust? If it's half as good as smart water I'm in!

AKA nanobots. What could go wrong?

Alert science fiction authors!!!

Top men are working on a way to beam penis enlargement spam directly into your brain.

Top men!

The health stuff is cool. The neuro interface may be necessary. The rest are just gadgets you can carry around outside of body just fine.

[Mummbles]

I cannot wait to become a cyborg!

But really, once we do create a real A.I. you wont have much choice but to go down the tech route. Otherwise you'll just be left behind and by that time, I'd imagine robots will do our burger flipping. You'll have nowhere to go.

[Gourmandise]

4 seems the most realistic. The rest are silly.
