If you were to have a robo style prosthetic, what would it be like?

[Sherwood_Archer]

I've been reading articles of real life "cyborgs" - people who have some added physical prosthetic like the guy who could feel colors and the girl who can feel the most minimal of earthquakes. I was thinking, meh. I want feet that boosts me up in the air! LOL Or maybe a robo hand that could punch through walls.

Maybe it`s rather boring, but I`ll prefer robotic internal organs, especially controllable ones.
Say, to intentionally slow your heart beat down if you`re too stressed or pump more adrenaline in extreme situations would be nice.

This one is actually very useful and it has so much potential. I think there was recently a news wherein scientists are already creating hearts in laboratories. Creating internal organs is already being researched on and maybe already being done already, in case I am not updated. If they could make hearts that could potentially function forever, that would be amazing. Heck, why stop with the heart? If you could replace every sick part of your body, that would be crazy. lol

Definitely not stop with only the heart.
Robotic blood filters, air filters (instead of lungs may be?), better digestive system that can process food more efficiently immediately come to mind.
Potential brain augmentation, cybernetic eyes with advanced optics, what else?

But all in all, bionic arms and stuff are cool, but what`s the use of them if the body itself is getting older?
You need to have the proper "foundation" in the first place to use the fun stuff without biological limitation, imo.

This may seem far-fetched, but the topic begins by mentioning Jump-Boots.

Maybe a robotic heart, and legs. Or any part that would keep me strong and live a life as long as possible. And if it means being immortal –why not?

Exoskeletons impermeable to physical danger would be practical and are actually being implemented in construction sites pretty soon.

Would suck if you had a heart that could beat forever but could still get run over by a car.

yeah.. I’ve been reading a lot about bionic parts too. That might be possible. But the body which houses all these organs will still age? So why not a robot (something like Sophia that looks close to looking human) but uploaded with human consciousness. There’s already lots of research about it. What do you think?

This one's pretty cool. Exoskeleton would be really helpful for work that are at high physical risk. A roommate's dad actually died by being ran over by a truck backing up while they were paving a road. It was really terrible. The driver didn't notice her dad working on the road. Terrible for the driver too because it's in his conscience that his work friend died because of him.

As much as fun being a cyborg is, I would rather have the ability to not get tired easily or become super strong, so I think that maybe genetic editing is more up my speed than becoming a human cyborg. Then again, if becoming a cyborg is what it takes to compete with the AIs then I would like to have full-on robotic limbs.

I don't know if I want a robotic style body, but I'd probably go through mind uploading and have my consciousness copied and transfer into a synthetic body. If that body is destroyed I can have another backup uploaded to another. Instant immortality, right?
