My Ideas

A custom heart simulator. (Maybe it could outlast the lifespan of the regular human heart.)
An improved autoimmune system with improved protection.
[Autism] Configurative wetware to modify sensory triggers; stims; and other characteristics of autism.
A memory cache for short-term memory.
Archival wetware for archiving memories.

Good topic to bring in. I was first introduced to this on Onimusha 3 - it's been on the back of my mind since then. It's fucked up for the current state of our world, but what's not fucked up about it? So I think it's worth talking about.

Like having a living being that can do shit for us.

I like the archiving one, it would be called "The Librarian".

I agree! Discussion of new topics is important to make technological progress.

I like the archival wetware idea too; it would allow memories to persist in elder age.

I got some more wetware ideas too:

Wetware that simulates foreskin (growth).
Artificial sense generator. (Wetware that generates a sense.)
