The Minority Report

Since I seem to be covering Cyborgs today, I’m going to throw in another article about cyborgs and their quest to take over the planet.

Selva on The Scientific Indian writes today about his Bioware wishlist.

I’m good with the increased vision and the better memory but the legs…pass. I want to be able to see infrared and ultraviolet, like some sort of Predator geek.

Better eyes. Check this news at beebs on a man with bionic eyes. I am very hopeful. Spectacles suck, contact lenses suck. I want a pair of bionic eyes.

Better memory. No news on this. Cognitive enhancement drugs will not cut it. I want a prosthetic that adds to the sorry excuse of a memory that evolution has endowed me with. If we can interface with the optic nerve (above), we can interface with any nerve, the brain included.

Better legs – so I can run to the office a dozen miles without breaking a sweat. Sitting inside a box of steel and meddling with large turnable knobs and slippery pads to travel is as stupid as it gets and I want to be done with it. Perhaps, the prosthetic legs could get wheels as add-ons. If you can get cheetah legs, why not wheels.The Scientific Indian : Bioware wishlist
