What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life? (lemmy.world)

I don't have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn't choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to "hear" music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn't even be upgraded hearing or anything.

So do y'all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?

This might sound nuts but, programmable/shifting tattoos.

Like, it could detect elevated levels of cortisol in your blood or increased heart rate and then just gently pulse or warm up to a comforting temperature as a way calm you down or remind you to breathe. Or light up like a custom RGB keyboard, or change colors/holographic effects depending on time of day. Anything really.

I really want a tattoo but hate commitment so I'm holding out for e-ink tats being invented in my lifetime 🤞

A tattoo that works like a sign on the forehead that says "warning: grumpy" that lights up accordingly, would be useful for all of society in my opinion.
