Ok, many times on the server now people have been talking about augmentation.. And it's a very interesting topic. What's even more interesting is it's not just Deus Ex scifi crap, it's actually possible.. I mean..
We even have some today. Augmentation is simply augmenting the body, it doesn't need extreme augments like Jensen does. We have pacemakers, and cochlea implants, and all sorts now that augment the body. Prosthetic limbs, even a microchip to replace an optic nerve (the first human brain-computer interface).
The thing is, how do you people think this science is progressing? I think it's progressing a huge amount, I mean computer development is exponential - Computing power doubles every 2 years (Moore's Law). Similar numbers apply to technology, especially newish ones such as prosthetic limbs.
Take a look at this video...

This isn't just a marketing ploy for Deus Ex, it's genuine science and shows some truly amazing stuff. We're well within reaching Deus Ex'ey levels of augmentation soon.
Also, what do you personally think about augmentations? Do you support it and look forwards to the future, or do you opposite it? Is it against God, does it destroy our humanity?
Let's hear that chatter. Go.
