Wearable device? Yes, if only inside yourself

Watches, smartphones, health trackers - all this, in my opinion, an unnecessary relic. A jerk awaits ahead. Science fiction writers have already written about this. A jerk in miniaturization, a jerk - when the device is built into the human body. Information will be displayed directly in the person’s field of vision using either special eye lenses, or simply connecting to the optic nerve and the visual parts of the brain.

Advantages


A person has a small distributed, but powerful computer system, for us it is like a notebook, book, phone, camera with very high quality (everything we see is photographed, and completely imperceptibly - goodbye private life), video - at least record every day everything from and to. Return to 13 years and see your first kiss again? (And if it will be possible to record feelings?). Statuses and microblogs visualized overhead and visible only through reasoned reality? Easily. Visible to all or only to friends. Telepathy at a technical level. Your favorite music and video with the ability for other people to download or view it directly while walking or traveling in public transport. Feel free to meet that girl / guy in the corner of the subway car? Run the pupil analyzer program, body temperature, sweating and other changes on the person’s face can tell a lot about your chances of success. Shopping will become even easier, because you are the one, how to log in if you already have the subject of authorization, can the authorization be carried out upon confirmation of your identity by three authorized people? Navigation will be easiest - the real “Three DE”, a large green arrow in front of you at the level of your head will tell you where to go. Expensive advertising screens, monitors, etc. will disappear. Why, when your eyes are the best ad place? can authorization be carried out upon confirmation of your identity by three authorized people? Navigation will be easiest - the real “Three DE”, a large green arrow in front of you at the level of your head will tell you where to go. Expensive advertising screens, monitors, etc. will disappear.

A computer system will be able to collect a variety of information about your body: the number of calories, consumption, estimated time to go to the toilet, the need for water and food. The doctor will be able to make a much more accurate diagnosis. Pass by the cafe and don’t know if there are places there? Cafe can set the number of tables and menus on request or just in the air in front of the entrance. Noticed traffic cops in the bushes? You can share with those who are going to meet you. They were blinded by the headlights at the crosswalk and the pedestrian is not visible, the pedestrian will be highlighted in red. A lot of pits on the road? Here you have a colored, most successful, trajectory of movement right on the road to avoid all pits and obstacles. The new reincarnation of "Skype" - got up to the mirror and make a call to the person you are talking to or when you call you, your avatar will be played in his field of vision. Plenty of room for imagination. Programs - for engineers and architects it will be much easier to work, like any other profession. Service systems for police officers, military, corporate systems.

The question arises - after all, everything around will be filled with blinking, sounding signs, statuses, pictures, but ... Only virtually, because it is only a mapping of signals from the computer to the visual sections of your brain. In nature, there is nothing there, clean and calm. No one forbids you to filter messages, sounds, statuses, pictures. And so you go and see only what you need, and if you wish, you can turn it off altogether and not accept anything.

Disadvantages?

- The right to privacy will either die or a total ban on such technologies will lead them to special structures and underground. But these are trifles.

Huge opportunities and terrifying consequences that are scary to come up with. So terrible that they will either change the whole community, turning our entire worldview upside down, or we will collectively decide that it was not and will not be. Such is the prohibition of technology on an instinctive level. New wars of ludists and techno-lovers are not ruled out. Those terrible opportunities that can give control over the centers of pleasure, control over a person’s body, over his I, etc., will lead to armed clashes in those communities that try to maintain the previous structure of society, its former values. Closing borders, outlawing modified people, prosecuting just for being an adherent of some kind of technology. Where are the children's games Apple and Samsung. But whoever gets on the cutting edge will get a new kind of power, almost absolute. Hacker and IT specialist will become heroes and monsters of that time. Do you still think it's worth learning to program? In that world, this will be the only chance to be yourself, in that world this will be your most important ability to survive.

It is possible to use the body's energy capabilities (heat, blood flow, food, various inhaled gases). The presence of a biological battery inside the body, for example, instead of an appendix, you will have a sort of power station. As a reserve wearable battery with recharge wirelessly. Or taking tablets with batteries: 1) biodegradable 2) not biological. They are intercepted by robots inside the body and delivered to the desired network centers. The network is likely to be spaced, redundant with separate and backup power centers. If signals cannot be transmitted along the nerves, it is possible to use repeaters. Mobile repeaters in the bloodstream.

Hacking protection


If the signals of the system do not leave the integument of the body, then various ointments (open areas of the body) and special covering clothes may well serve as protection against breaking. The second technogenic defense system against intruders of nanorobots.
