I have several RFID and NFC implants. I use them for several things: I have a payment implant so I can pay contactless with my hand (the payment implant is sold by DT’s partner Walletmor), I open doors, start my car without keys, share my contact information, log into my computers and I use my one cryptographic implant for 2FA.
It’s not Ghost in the Shell by any stretch of the imagination, but those little implants that you can get today really do make life better and more convenient.
But hey at least you are still tracked and logged.
So are you, each time you pull out your payment card to pay for something, because it’s exactly the same thing. Or all the time when you carry your cellphone around.
If you tell me where one can get real cyber implants that give you the superhuman abilities you mentioned, I’ll get them rightaway.
But unfortunately, RFID / NFC implants and sensing magnets are the best you can get if you’re interested in human augmentation. it’s a bit pathetic, yes, but nobody is working on anything more sophisticated because no doctor will touch operating on healthy human beings for voluntary augmentation with a ten-foot pole.
I want my tiny piece of the future and I got it with my boring implants. Sorry to be so disappointing to you.
As an amputee, I am no stranger to that kind of cybernetics. But it’s not true cybernetics in the sense of an intimidate and permanent man-machine symbiosis: a prosthesis or an exoskeleton is something you don’t want and you - thankfully - take off at night.

Ah yes what boring times, we get cybernetics and what do we do with it? Run faster? Punch bricks? Jump super high?
Nope, pay for your coffee without a wallet. But hey at least you are still tracked and logged.

What’s your point?
Yeap, that’s why I said it was boring cybernetics.

Not implants, but there are cybernetic exoskeletons.

Yeah those would be cool and I would also like to know where to get them. Its too bad we live in a boring dystopia and not the cool one.
