When will doctors implant a speaker in your ear and a microphone in your throat and turn you into a always on cell phone? How long before doctors are implanting a small camera on your optic nerve and you become a always on digital camera? I'm thinking 10-15 years. |

You've been watching Johnny Mnemonic again, haven't you? No one in their right mind would let a surgeon implant that shit 'under their skin'. In 10-15 years you'll just superglue a little chip to your earlobe or outer ear that will permit the same funcions you describe. I know because I'm on the internet. |
Careful what you wish for. Chances are some 400lb hag with no teeth will have one for the same reason and next thing you know you will find yourself in bed with her!

OMG Coyote ARM!!! |
I thought about that as well. These implants would have to be engineered to give them a usable life of 5-10 years. Life and technology does seem to imitate TV and movies though. 40 years ago we saw Uhura talk to the galaxy via a small earpiece. Now we see people talk to the world via a wireless Bluetooth earpiece. And you know there are people out there willing to have such things implanted. |
