Because of interest in the last thread, it seemed a good topic: What body mod would you get? It doesn't have to be available yet.
Personally, I want that Matrix-style brain-jack shit -- I want to be able to plug full knowledge of any topic into my head: piloting a plane, brain surgery, the complete works of Shakespeare, physics, and of course, advanced wuxia (though I'd need an amped body to keep up with that last one).
Oh, and I think I'd like enhanced eyes with telescopic sight (think "6 Million Dollar Man" -- maybe the eyes could even make that same "doot-doot-doot-doot" sound) and night-vision. Though shooting lasers from them would also be nice; in addition to the terrifying defensive (or offensive) weapon they provide, the idea of heating burritos from across the room appeals to me. Kneel before Zod, burrito!

Tue, February 6, 2007 - 9:07 PMIn addition to the skull-jack, I want a skin replacement. It would be tear-proof, age-proof, and could act as an enhanced insulator or heat diffuser depending on need. No more coats or wet suits. In addition, a squid like ability to change skin pigment, for fun or for camouflage; and an option to change the transparency of my eyelids so as to not expose them to a hostile environment while still being able to find my way. -

Tue, February 6, 2007 - 11:06 PMDatajack... Wolverine claw implants....Metabolic enhancer... "reds" - rapid regeneration cells.
But Here's some ideas I haven't read about:
Dental reconstructors: inject them into a cavity and cover over with a special putty. wait 10 minutes and you have a new tooth.
Digit-al CD reader- lasertip finger that can read most optical disks
BioD secretion gland and static charge generator: allows a person to exude fireballs from specified orifice.
Non-dom: condom that transmits full sensory effect, but filters out viruses.
Choco-cum: Makes seminal fluid taste like chocolate.
Red Bull-ites - actually give you wings.

Wed, February 7, 2007 - 11:32 AMthis might sounds kinda' super-heroish, but along with the being able to just tap into info (via brain jack, photographic memory, or whatever) i'd also like to be able to fly w/out any equipment.
hahahahaaa

Re: Your New Body Mod
Fri, February 9, 2007 - 11:23 AMoh i just thought of another one today...
i want some kind of camera implant thingy
i think it'd be cool to be able to take photos of stuff by just looking at it in a certain way & then export via synch-up w/ my laptop or whatever later on by retinal scan or s/thing.
today was "all the crazies go hang out at the grocery store day" & i really could've used it then. -

Re: Your New Body Mod
Fri, February 9, 2007 - 12:29 PMI would love one of those too. I'd love to be able to take a picture of how I see things, like be able to imbue the emotion at the time instead of having to rely on an imperfect camera with standard tricks like filter's, lighting tricks and post production work.
I'm still trying to come up with my body mod, pretty much everything has been already said though that I've thought about, plus everyone knows I want my skeletal system replaced (or at least have the nerve's not send back pain signals anymore) and while I'd consider that an upgrade it'd be more functional than wanted for fun. I think maybe then having an implant that allows you to breathe underwater, in normal air and deep in caves that are mostly sulfur and such. Maybe even add on chemical filtering too. Most renewable way would be of course through nanocites maybe and not so much of a body mod.
