I would definitely not use any technologies that use internet or can be hacked remotely. But I would accept some that would help my life significantly.

    I’ll take a cybernetic heart. I was born with a heart defect, and one heart attack was enough for me. I’d love to know what it felt like to have endurance too.

    I would pretty much accept any technology that brings me closer to being a full android or lengthens my lifespan. Artificial brain, tracking tech, etc. I would be willing to accept a lot of compromise for eternal life and I feel this route is probably has the best chance of actually happening within my lifespan. Cyberhorror aspects aside, I figure once the lifespan increases, given an infinite period of time eventually the problems will sort itself out. If it gets too awful I assume I could probably maintain enough control to off myself at some point so it’s all good.

    Also, I know the chances are still very small, fractions of a percent or whatever, but its non-zero and most other avenues seem to be just flat zero outright.

    I’ve seen code. I want nothing.

    We already have people getting implants and companies leave the space for go belly up and you’re stuck with a useless piece of plastic in you. No thank you.

    I just want non-volatile storage. Give me a hard drive that I can read and write to. Use it for to-do lists, or grocery lists. Instead of physically reading a book with my eyes just upload it to my drive and peruse it at my leisure inside my own head. Recipes go there. Even if it’s text-only I can think of a million uses for it. Add the ability to store and retrieve images or videos and it gets even better. My memory isn’t that great and the sheer increase in quality of life that it could give me would be astronomical.

    I would really like some kind of augmented reality device that adds an RPG like interface to real life. Especially some kind of quest management system to keep track of tasks and display my current objective to the side. This combined with an xp system could help me gamify tasks at least to tha point of being bearable. Meters for vitals would also come in handy as I often forget to eat and drink, but I don’t have this issue when playing survival games for some reason.

    I’ll go for something simple and possibly more realistic. Just give me a programmable NFT implant on the back of my hand or something that i can use to pay for things, open doors, unlock computers, etc

    There’s just so much that can go wrong with it that I don’t trust it at all. Even the best, most well tested systems have bugs and critical flaws.

    But then also there’s he worry that the company making whatever you use goes under or stops supporting it. Imagine getting a message one day like “We’re sorry, but we will no longer support the SuperEye 5400TL API after June 30th. If you wish to keep your sight, please purchase our newest model, the 6400TLX, from our website and choose the subscription plan that is right for you!”
