The headline acts of the conference were mostly bodyhackers – DIY experimenters who, in their basements and garages, seek to enhance their own flesh and blood with biometric implants and cognitive enablers. These brave pioneers were extending their senses, overcoming physical limitation, Dan-Daring themselves and the rest of us into the future.

He, lots of us have metal all over our bodies right now. We've been moving there since man made the first peg leg and wooden tooth.
I'm not big on it, only in cases where someone is in a serious injury situation where they need assistance to walk or use their arms or talk, that kind of thing. Regular healthy people wanted to 'enhance' their bodies, I think that's crazy and dangerous.
