Bionic ears, mine are shit.

I've thought for many years that the first true cybernetics will be artificial eyes. If they can get self contained optic systems that fit into the eyeball space, it should be trivial to allow them to see a much wider spectrum, plus macro and telephoto. That would be cool. A computer interface for them would be awesome, but I'd have trust issues with that as well.

This might sound nuts but, programmable/shifting tattoos.

Like, it could detect elevated levels of cortisol in your blood or increased heart rate and then just gently pulse or warm up to a comforting temperature as a way calm you down or remind you to breathe. Or light up like a custom RGB keyboard, or change colors/holographic effects depending on time of day. Anything really.

Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and a lot of floaters, so many that I cannot even tell if my glasses are clean or not most of the time.

But naturally they'd need to look natural and be with zoom, infrared, night vision, a camera function and a video playing function (no wireless functions though).

A hearing implant that works by audio mixing rather than just raising volume. I'm not deaf, but I have trouble filtering out background noise.

I have a rare lung condition, so I'd want a full double lung transplant and new heart. Maybe just make my chest entirely clear like a computer case.

And chop off both of my feet and give me something new. Not for any real reason, I just hate feet and would rather have springs or something else.

Bionic back, mine is shit.

A brain/computer interface. But like you say, depending on the state of tech companies maybe only as an input (I can manipulate computers without allowing them to send a signal of any kind to me).

It'd just be for stuff like mentally dictating note taking, being able to "Google" my thoughts (probably best to send the output to my phone rather than directly into my brain)

Give me mechanical tentacles like doc ock. I wouldn't want to replace anything.

I wanna see the hype about regular colour. I’ve got red green blue yellow colourblindness. I wanna see how things are meant to be coloured.

New skin. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just no more scars and a better fit.

I've often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone's name or what exactly happened when.

A math coprocessor would be nice. Ability to instantly know the answer to equations I see, and ability to do large calculations in my head.

Also, some sort of interface port where I could upload skills or information, matrix-style. And it would have to be a physical port, no fucking way I'd want that available wirelessly.

Volume control for the ears, with equalizer, decibel normalizer, and active noise cancelling.

Improved eye (singular), a second thumb on right hand, internal physical storage, modular left arm with power tool extensions, a nose and jawline that are very clearly technological but don't do anything else, and a set of integrated wheelies

Subdermal armour. Like a flexible, slash-resistant, heatproof mesh under the skin. I work in a kitchen so it'd be nice to be able to ignore those pesky little nicks and burns.

functional ovaries

I don't want a pill. I want a full organ integrated into my body that releases hormones responsive to my body's natural rhythms and diet and environment.

I don't care if it's via cybernetic augmentation or a stem-cell grown uterus combo package.

Wouldn't mind something that would fix my tinnitus.

A way to monitor and regulate body chemistry or neural action would be nice. Change and directly see my stress and sleepiness levels, regulate pain at will if necessary etc. I think there would be tons of uses for things like that.

Something like an eidetic memory chip would be splendid.

Exoskeletons are almost viable already. Climbing a major hike without breaking a sweat is a real dream for outdoors people

Though number one for me would be personal temperature control. Imagine having the perfect ac everywhere you go. Somehow scifi ignores this idea but that would change everything.

Also cybernetic eyes obviously.

New legs. Not special ones, just new ones that aren't shit. Man that sounds like a downer. I'll take a mechanical hand that doesn't hurt when I forget to take breaks from drawing for 12 hours. And some ocular implant to tell me the name of that person who just waved at me and who clearly knows me.

I can think of other things that sound cool on paper but I've consumed enough media to know that they're VERY bad ideas and not worth it.

I too wouldn't actually do it because I don't trust corporations that would make this shit. But I've often dreamed of having a "think to text" option, like speech to text but without having to say it out loud. If this existed I'd have a first draft of a novel from all the plotting and imagining scenes and dialogue when I go on walks. It feels much harder to get the juices flowing when I'm at home with my computer.

I've always wanted a [prehensile tail] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensile_tail), cyber or natural.

Vital sign monitoring system

Usb in something like my finger so i can connect to any pc and use it with my brain

Robotic limbs, mainly because its kind of a dream of mine to create affordable, diy-capable working prosthetics for people who cant afford them, especially if theyre for children/teens who seemingly double in size every half year.

extreme cum

Mechanical “eyes” that correct my vision.

Parallel processing. Sometimes when speaking or thinking, something comes to mind which is related but presents a fork. It would be cool to chase both branches

slow down my brain on demand so boring repetitive tasks feel fast forwarded.

I want an implant that can regulate body functions and even rejuvenate & regenerate me.

What would that mean?

• Forever young
• Adonis/Venus body
• Some sort of self-healing capability
• Some sort of body-shaping capability
• Possibly immortal

I also have some trust issues. I'd rather not have spyware built into me.

That said if I could magically wave those problems away, I wouldn't say no to improved senses. Eyes that can see any wavelength from radio to x-rays, with different filters for wavelength and polarization available. Same for ears too.

I have actually considered(but not super seriously) getting a magnet implant so I could detect magnetic fields and current flowing in wires, what do you think the limit of that would be if you took it to an extreme?

Mental augmentations are a bit scarier. For multiple reasons.

A cortical stack that allows me to upload my brain to a computer, and make back ups or forks of myself.
