The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Clinical trials in a few years, and probably true cybernetics in a decade. Ah, it's a good time to be alive, methinks.

Define life? When we merge man with machine who will come out on top.

But seriously I had a Direct Neural Interface wired into the base of my skull and it was great other then the fact that everrytime i sneazed my computer rebooted and when i used the microwave I get hot flashes (really bad considering I'm a guy) the wired refles are cool as hell but I cant shake hands with people anymore without throwing them into a Judo hold. Which whouldnt be so bad but my cybernetic arms are still a little glitchy and tend to over compensate, plus I cant get em wet. Next time I'll stick to the vat grown muscle.

Wow! Although I can imagine with some advance sci fi kinda technology, it can be sorta scary with what goes on in our brains, given that the tech works on our instant thoughts.

The problem comes when our computers become "self aware"

if a copy of windows became self aware. it would delete itself because it is obsolete. anyways, if you want to know the truth, there already is a man that has such devices atached to his body, he lost both arms when he touched a live wire ( he was a line man) and so now he sorta thinks, and the new arms move.

also, i want to be able to control my mouse with my brain too
