The cyberpunk fanboy in me is getting excited about augments. I'd definitely augment myself. It would/will be interesting to see psychological impacts of augments in a society where not everyone accepts themselves as they are and are not happy with their bodies. Augments could become like the new plastic surgery
Does my knee replacement count? Although any surgery sucks, my doctor used a new tech that made custom miter boxes based on a 3D MRI scan. The whole operation only took 1/2 an hour because the fit was perfect out of the box.
What augmentation would I want? Initially I thought I would want a built in Bullshit / Lie Detector, but much more useful for me would be a device that senses when I am being Annoying and gives me a severe electric shock.
The Singularity is Nigh! Chinese scientists are embarking on what appear to be the first human trials with the CRISPR gene editing tool, the latest effort by the country’s researchers to master a technology that might someday be a potent tool in developing therapies worldwide.
In reality BP and all the oil companies are already on the moon taking oil from it, it is the big oil companies that are trying to hide the fact that we've been to the moon not the government hahahaha
33:23 The CIA has been known to encourage or even fabricate UFO conspiracies just to hide their operations in their testing facilities like Area 51, and one of the military WWII propaganda was that carrots help you see better when in reality it was just a cover up for their airplane radar technology. I wouldn't be surprise if the detective side of things in the police law enforcement uses the same veil tactics.
The banter that goes with news articles is priceless. Logan's and Qain's tangents is what i look forward to each Tek episode. I laughed my ass off the first few minutes on Kentucky.
North Sense, as long as your bed is aligned East-West. If it was arranged North-South every time you rolled over in your sleep, your chest would vibrate and it would wake you up... bugger.
And the problem with augmentation and things like Bionic eyes, you just know that some how they are going to work out how to plant adverts directly on to your optic nerve. Please standby for this paid 27min advert.. your normal vision will resume shortly.
