I need cyberware
This is a request to the researchers and engineers who are working in the fields of prosthetics and cybernetics, and to those who provide funding for such work. Get on with it! I'm aging here. I'm not as old as the Boomers, but I'm a Gen-Xer who can only accurately say that I am 30-something for 3 1/2 more weeks. I want cyberware options! I'm going to need some wetware soon. The vision is there, crack open some William Gibson or Bruce Sterling, dammit! I'm not sure if I want to go full Lobster or not, but I certainly have Mechanist leanings. Too, where are my Zeiss cyber eyes with full micro to macro capabilities, infrared, and a HUD? I definitely need a HUD. Augmented reality is in its infancy. We need to prod it along. I don't want it to seem as if I don't think that there has been any progress. There has been. Reality is in some cases outpacing the fiction. Remember, Johnny could only carry a few hundred MB in his head in Gibson's original story, updated to 80 GB in the film. The Micro-SD XC specification calls for a capacity of 2 TB. I wouldn't even have to dump my memories to get that stuffed into my head.
