Have you ever wondered how it would feel like to have a bionic eye Shocked

attached? How would it feel to have an artificial arm that would not be there because of losing the original in some accident, but there just because you [i]want[/i] it there…like a tattoo! Cool

That would be weird, but just think of the possibilities that would create. More strength maybe, or some special quality could be added to make it effective.
I reckon the fighters of the time will have such arms to give them more power. Or the soldiers, using it as a weapon. The possibilities are immense…I’d however prefer something that covers the human arm (like a glove) and adds some features to its working rather than REPLACING the arm…yuck! Shocked

Why anyone would want an arm replaced is beyond my comprehension. I think we should be satisfied with Rex’s version of things…covering rather than replacing. Confused

But the added features would certainly be fun. You could look farther and maybe zoom in and out as desired! Laughing

or scan thing so you dont have to remember too much. Razz

Most of us, users of the internet and so forth, are already cyborgs, in the sense that we use machinery to expand and enhance certain features of our bodies and minds. In this particular case, right now, I'm using technology to get in touch with people whose ideas interest me, and to communicate with them.

I believe that more and more the cyborgisation of human species will take place, not only by the means of pure prosthetics (like an artificial arm to replace a real one lost in a car accident) but also by means of nanotechnology and advanced computer systems.

One of man's primary task is to learn thing's, not only by gathering information, but also through understanding how to use it. Can you imagine how it would be in the future, with tiny microchips implanted on our body, containing more information than the encyclopedia brittanica? Illiteracy and cultural gaps between manking may cease to exist!

I think a brain implant to improve my analysis and processing speed would be the perfect addition to my physical body personally. replacing a limb wouldn't really appeal to me, nor would covering it with machinery for enhancments, I prefer smaller implants, such as excellerated muscle tissue growth or something of the likes.
