Robotic Parts

With more and more companies and scientists figuring out ways to replicate human functions into synthetic parts, whether it be prosthetic arms that can hook in with nerve endings to computers controlled with your brain, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing some of those technologies coming our way.

That said, the ethics involved aren't really at stake here, thus the reason for being in general discussion. Instead, I'm more interested in the cool and hypothetically good aspects for the sake of science fiction fun. And since I've been reading Neuromancer lately, it kind of popped up in my head.

The morality of replacing parts of your body with robotic pieces aside, if you could swap out one of your fleshy components for a better, more efficient replacement, what would it be? What wouldn't you replace if the technology were available?

Even something simple like your teeth and jaw. No more cavities, cleaning, broken jaws, or chipped teeth. Or robotic eyes that could zoom, have readouts and process light more efficiently. Possibilities are endless, and slightly terrifying.

That's the thing, I wonder if any of these awesome bionic limbs would be built in with limits to how awesome they could be? They probably wouldn't allow a race of superheroes going around and punching through walls. But then they just need to make a wall that can regenerate itself and bam, you have awesome entrances to everything. Haven't they already banned runners with prosthetic limbs from running in the Olympics since their prosthetic leg is more efficient than their fleshy counterparts?

I've always been slightly entranced by the idea of the bionic eye. Switch on night vision or infrared for NO reason whatsoever other than to be awesome.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Isn't that what computers and actual calculators already do though? Doing those calculations in the blink of an eye is already possible is it not?

How ya doing, buddy?
