The Borg won't have to assimilate us...

And I’ll be using four of those mechanical arms to help me with my new super-duper fusion experiment, which will duplicate the energy of a miniature Sun and power all of New York City! Don’t worry, the arms look scary but I’m in control because of this neato li’l chip on my neck. Nothing can go wrong! Now then, let’s get this party started!

Definitely sig-worthy! Can I have it?

I know what you mean. There’s another aspect to it. Convenience. We sure lurv convenience. As a woman, I can tell you, the less I have to carry the better. I’d go for a cellphone in my head (provided I can turn it off and still have caller ID when it’s on) as well as a credit card implant and digital keys to my house and car in my palm. Permanent lipstick, sure. Now, if only I could get a camera in my eyes, so I can email everything thing I see via my headphone…

I ain’t scared of borgs. :smiley:

If you can implant a 24/7 high speed internet connection into my head with a corneal display, I’m all for it. As long as I can choose my software. No way I’m letting Microsoft in there. And I want a REAL good anti-virus software so I don’t end up standing in the middle of the road in a puddle of my own pee with a snot bubble coming out my nose. :eek:

I would be Honored to know I made someones’ sig-line.

Cinnamon Girls’ post made me think about the cell-phone in the head. What if, instead of a faux-sensory cue like a ringing sound or flashing light, you just got a *feeling * that someone was calling you? Even more, if the caller was one of your known contacts you’d get a familiar feeling. Like recognizing a friend in the crowd.

Now imagine that you didn’t want to talk. What excuse would you have? “I forgot my phone” wouldn’t cut the mustard.

“I was out of my mind.”
