bioshock would be dope.

I think it'll become something like what the american economy looks like; just a bunch of the same s--- mostly packaged similarly to achieve similar goals. It'll flow with the trends. Always a step behind of what it could be used for in order to maximize profits.

However; there will be a small community of people doing interesting things with it.

It was actually better than I thought it would be. I would have thought a lowland gorilla would grow much larger than a gray wolf though, it bothered me he was the smallest.

I think it's the natural evolution of the species, at some point Earth will not be able to sustain all of [human] life and we will need to live elsewhere. What better way than to have special cybernetics which can actually survive hostile environments in space? It may not happen in our lifetime, but humans are already connected to technology far more than we ever have been in history. The average person has a computer in their pocket, a computer on their wrist, a computer in their car, or even a computer in their glasses... Not to mention the multitude of technologies which already could be considered cybernetic such as hearing aids, pacemakers, artificial organs, etc. Will it be Deus Ex? Maybe, maybe not. I don't feel that Deus Ex is really that far from reality either way.
