Hey, I’d love an Iron Man suit. Smart prosthetics would be great. Augmentation is definitely going to happen, but merge? I dont see that. And vice versa, e.g. the dictate to shift the planet to electric cars without any plan of how we will charge so many vehicles with low quality electric grids from the 1950’s!

It it getting closer to power armor being available. I know Japan has been running with some ideas for a powered harness used when having to lift elderly home patients. Plus at least three US contractors have been trying to get a mechanical harness off the power cables and onto batteries.

I believe one of the ideas is to basically download the mind into a AI form. Or to use augmented reality to have access to both the physical world and the digital world at the same time. And who knows maybe with AI we can come up with a better idea for updating the infrastructure.
