Human Augmentation

Aye. Of course, with insurance, that's not much. A heart transplant costs $787,700 (http://www.transplantliving.org/beforeth...costs.aspx), and this is just as major a surgery. Although I doubt we'll be getting upgrades by choice any time soon with that cost, it'll only be for amputee victims.

Of course, in Deus Ex there were people who actually amputated their own limbs to get insurance to pay for an augment - I wonder if that'll ever happen if we get the technology good enough.

Also as well as the optic nerve brain-computer interface they made in the video, they've actually made a chip that acts like the brains neuron connections. It looks incredible so far.
Remember Moore's law, this stuff doubles every 18 months.
