Cyborg-like implants. I want titanium joints and UV vision and magnetic field sensors and charging my phone by laying it on my belly. Uncap each finger to reveal a small tool: screwdriver, USB key, cutting blade, etc.
Note that none of that includes or requires a constant connection to a network/internet. I want to augment my interactions with the real world, not replace them with a virtual world.
Oh boy do I have an 80's cartoon for you…
Go-go-gadget...
I've looked forward to this most of my life, but given how things have changed, I would never do it. There's no way these implants wouldn't be subscription based, and spy on everything you do. Oh, you forgot to pay your enhanced eyeball subscription? Now you're blind, motherfucker!
Biohackers have been toying with very primitive versions of this for over a decade.
Things like implanting RFID capsules in their hands or fingers to act as credit cards or key fobs... lots of fun infections.
I am fairly sure the movement has basically died out since bluetooth became widespread.
On the other hand, you can always sign up as a test subject for neuralink rofl.
It's still a thing

What would power these implants?
Linux, most likely.
The power of SCIENCE!
