Accelerating Future--Top Ten Cybernetic Enhancements

Cybernetic enhancements are a necessary phase in the move to next level humans. Michael Anissimov posted this fascinating post about likely cybernetic/cyborg enhancements last week, but I was too busy to post at that time. Looking at it with a bit more time, I see that I was negligent in not pointing it out to readers.

Who can argue with this list of enhancements?
  1. Immortality
  2. Superintelligence
  3. Ability to Fly
  4. Autopoiesis
  5. Psychokinesis
  6. Easy Appearance Upgrades
  7. Super Strength
  8. Brain-Computer Interface
  9. Telephoto-Microscopic-Full Spectrum Vision
  10. Immunity to Disease


If I were making my wishlist, I would probably add "rapid healing from injury", and portable inertial dampers and matter/energy shields. If you have superintelligence, superstrength, and immortality, you can probably work out ways to get most of the things you want.

To be a next-level human, you also must have wisdom and character. Without wisdom and character, a superintelligent immortal would be a curse to humanity.
