Based on what?
- ffhhj 2y agoThe enhancement with written language already happened +10,000y ago, the enhancement with pocket calculators +50y ago. There are some bionic devices for locomotion, hearing, sight, cardio, epilepsy, but mainstream cybernetic enhancements haven't really kicked off yet. We still need to solve hard problems like durability, energy and biointerfacing.
- thatoneguy 2y agoAn imagination that seems very reasonable to commenter but wildly off-base to everyone else. I'd personally bet more on a resurgence of typewriters and film in the next decade or two over deeper integration with the increasingly contrived electronic world.
- dartos 2y agoNow what makes you think that? I don’t agree with OP at all, but I also see no indication of typewriters or film coming back, except as a retro novelty. I am hopeful for smaller less rent-seeking software shops to get a foothold while the big players chase statistical models.

- newzisforsukas 2y agoI don't see how any of those technologies necessitates cybernetics, especially in the traditional sense of mimetic devices or brain computer interfaces. It doesn't seem like a great argument for declaring these technologies, which have very little to do with the content of TFA, are imminently becoming mainstream.
