Reply to comment by Cryptizard in I wonder how the would will interact with those of us who get eye implants/AR contacts by crua9

I don’t need glasses but I will jump at the first opportunity to get eye implants that will let me zoom, record and whatever other benefits come along with it for sure. Been a huge fan of the idea of cybernetic implants and Ghost in the Shell ever since I first saw it so many years ago when it released. Cyborg me up!

You are probably not thinking it through. Imagine if every time you wanted to upgrade to the newest iPhone you had to have invasive surgery. Now also remember that as we get closer to the singularity newer better technology is going to be coming out faster and faster. Wouldn’t you rather it just be a wearable item that you could swap easily?

There’s also the risk that your implant just stops being supported and then you have no working eyes.
