For example, you could discuss, as my friends and I were doing, whether it is better to have, in your life, wasted away your time, or to use it as if every second counts.

hell, i´d love to be a cyborg. i want devices in my eyes to improve eyesight, give me nightsight and heat detecting sight, i want improved hearing devices installed in my ears, and then there´s a whole bunch of stuff from warhammer 40K which i wanted when i read a book but can´t remember now, such as the skill to know what the stuff i eat was thinking at the time of it´s death (maybe not by eating it but by touching it would be cooler).But that argument is pretty finite. You should say something provocative about the oncoming cyborg technologies that high-tech companies are tripping over each other to make and install into people, like weapons, tracking devices, communications utilities, etc.

i want a set of wolverine claws.
i want an upgradable computer and a small monitor in my left arm.
i want devices which support my interior organs, such as heart, liver, kidneys... when needed and a whole supply of chemicals which can be shot into my body when needed.

i need to add that i´d only do that stuff if these aditional gadgets are very tiny and if it was as safe as driving a car.Lagmonster wrote:salm wrote:hell, i´d love to be a cyborg. i want devices in my eyes to improve eyesight, give me nightsight and heat detecting sight, i want improved hearing devices installed in my ears, and then there´s a whole bunch of stuff from warhammer 40K which i wanted when i read a book but can´t remember now, such as the skill to know what the stuff i eat was thinking at the time of it´s death (maybe not by eating it but by touching it would be cooler).

But wouldn't you be worried about having non-organic things planted in your body? I mean, you'd have to cut out or remove something in your body in order to accommodate all your new toys.
I can understand replacing eye *lenses* with plastic, and using artificial organs and the like to replace defective ones, but I doubt we're ever going to get to the point where you can have voluntary surgery to get, say a wireless internet service and mini screens installed in your eyes and head, with a direct link to your brain.
