Their point is that cyborg gear is evolving at Moore's Law pace, so any implants that you put in will be obsolete in a couple of years. Not to mention that hardware degrades quickly in a hot, moist, corrosive environment. This is at odds with more "traditional" body modification like tattooing, which lasts a lifetime.
- theophrastus 11y ago"hot, moist" raises a question i've yet to see addressed. body-"mods" would be a lot more versatile/update-able if you could implant only the smaller stuff, mostly sensors, and connect up the bigger stuff externally with cables (and straps, or bio-velcro); so finally the question: other than rf/inductive linkage has there been much advancement toward a resident body 'plug'? (often seen as a feature of Keanu Reeves) while yet avoiding becoming a grand esplanade for infection.
