Make It Wearable | Episode 4: Becoming Superhuman 

Lucas Strandell what is they use that for soldiers but weaponized the robotic limbs

You don't know what a bsod is do you

+SilentSooYun You don't know what you'll do when you don't have or you loose a sense.

3 other deal breakers: If the company that makes it sells the data, if its wireless only, or the product has a terms of service. Under no circumstance should you lack any degree of control or freedom with something plugged into your own brain.

@@Haardwiired69 Blue screen of death? It's a catastrophic systems failure. Lol

We'll finally get that cyberpunk future I've been waiting for.

+Jaqen That someone would be me. I'm all for upgrading my body with cybernetics to the greatest extent I can. Just need some really good antivirus software. XD

@@melonfox17 Can't wait to see the first gen victims spazzing out in the streets. 🤣

Now, it is already happening.

imagine if your leg got hacked :O

***** Or your entire body. And once we start implanting brain chips in our heads to make us smarter, our minds will be hackable as well. My fear is that this technology is approaching faster than we can prepare for it.. Accepting brain chips in our heads seems like a stretch now but these chips will start out as wearables and the gradual build up towards that goal is what sustains our apathy and allows us to accept it without question.

it is the fear in people like you guys which slow down progression. where is the positivity?

Oliver King And its the naivete in people like you who selfishly and blindly march forward despite obvious dangers. This isn't a question of "will it be dangerous" its a question of "how do we stop it from being dangerous". I'm just being realistic. In other words I'm not turning a blind eye to reality just so I can feel all warm and fuzzy inside. As of right now our governmental system is broken. Nearly everyone can agree on that. The Govt. has revolving doors that allow CEOs of large corporations to write their own laws. The Govt. is making itself more opaque while making the people more and more transparent under the pretext of national security. Whether national security is a good excuse for eroding our rights and whether it is intentional or not is beside the point so I won't get into that.. the point is that its happening and will continue to happen in this endless war on terror.. and as long as we have no safeguards against the abuse of power in this country it will be too tempting for corrupt psychopathic politicians to take advantage of it.

Oliver King Its not just wearables that we should be concerned about. Police departments have already adopted drones for domestic surveillance and have been using them before guidelines can even be set up for their use. They are capable of seeing through walls and using facial recognition. The agencies are also considering equipping their drones with “non-lethal weapons" such as tasers, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. With all of the social unrest, protesting, etc, imagine how these will be used for riot control. The riot police and military are both plunging into the future of crowd control, inventing space-age weapons that won't kill you, but will make you wish they had such as The Pulsed Energy Projectile (which makes you feel like you are being burned alive), and The PHASR (aka Crowd-Blinding Rifle), and The Active Denial System (aka Massive Pain Ray). To top it all off they have already installed (Vegas) and are continuing to install Intellistreet smart street lights onto streets which have the capability of analyzing voices and physically tracking people, features that will aid the Department of Homeland Security in “protecting its citizens.” These are features which are admitted by the company behind them. My desire is merely that we start discussing the issues before it is too late. We can still develop these technologies without major consequences if we are proactive about fixing our government and raising awareness.

I believe the writers of Dr. Who are on to something.

Professor Goldfarb just gave a talk here at Vanderbilt, and this issue was brought up. Right now a big hurdle is defining the reimbursement codes that Medicare, etc. use because these technologies don't fit into the current categories for traditional rehabilitation products. That's an ongoing effort before you'll start to see insurance companies really begin picking these devices up.

Not for now but there is nothing that says you won't be able to insert some sort of chip in your brain to learn and think faster. We need to understand the brain better though.When they say enhancing, it basically mean that, if for example, you think your arms are too weak or you want to run faster, you can choose to leave your biological limbs behind and replace them with artificial ones. And that goes for pretty much everything in your body, heart, lungs, eyes etc. When you see the technology that already exist, it doesn't seems very effective, but give 20-30 years to the technology to evolve and you'll see artificial limbs that will be more effective that what nature gave us and you won't even be able to tell the difference as it will feel and look the exact same. Once we will have reach that level of technology , i think i'll swap my body, or parts of it, for an artifical one, because let's be honest, our biological body is weak. But that's my opinion, some people won't "enhance"because it will not feel natural for them and that's understandable. Anyway, future is going to be awesome !

I would only put a computer inside someone if they aren't a normal person such as amputee or def or blind but if they are normal than I wouldn't turn them into a cyborg

Connor Gordon In the beginning, only disabled people will have that technology but as i said once the technology evolves to the point it becomes better than a natural limb , then people will start "upgrading" their body And there is nothing wrong with that. See it's not you that will turn them into a cyborg, they will decide to become a cyborg.Let the people do what they want with their body. If we come to that level of technology, i wouldn't mind having an artificial body. My body is a just a vehicle for my brain, if given the opportunity to have a stronger one, even if it's not made out of flesh, i'll take it.

***** I would rather have a heart on the outside of my body in a pack than have to get filleted open everytime they need to maintain/replace it. Anything they can put in you, is better off on the outside.

Cerebral well in the the future we might just have replaceable parts just like any piece of technology. faulty arm? replace it. Also youre thinking we wont have developed new surgical techniques.

+That one Gamer I wouldn't want to live forever

+IM Iube Yes, like the fact that human will never fly or never will arrive to the outer space. Human will never be able to build satellites or creating internet or telephones that communicate us with other people being far away each to others, you idiot caveman.

+IM Iube Yes, I know just like the cave man who affirmed that men could never fly. You're that same cave man.

ummmm ..no we will not

but maybe will live longer and stronger .

***** Having color blindness is really not losing a sense. If he literally can't tell the difference between grayscale and color at all, then it is like losing half a sense. But it's not like he's blind. (Most color blind people can see at least one or two colors)

***** I don't think his particular head ornament allows him to tell traffic light colors, but I may be wrong. Good day to you as well.

***** Speaking of trolling, it appears to be one of your disabilities as in you can't help yourself from doing it so please stop acting like a bleeding heart dipstick to drudge up replies...wait a minute...oh shoot you got me!!! Good troll WAPY. By the way I said that with a "st8" face. :D

ikr this guy is such a tool shed holy shit
