I think chips/implants/body mods/etc are all very cool and I hope I am alive long enough to see them become a reality.
The idea of somehow being able to interface with a computer to expand your knoweldge/intelelgence or increase your physical ability is something that I find very appealing and interesting.
Being able to 'jack-in' and download any information/know-how that you need as an on-need baises, very interesting. Its a pipe dream that is a LOOONG ways off, and i'll probably be dead long before it comes around, but hey - theres always reincarnation :P

yep look at gaming consoles...very rarely do they crash...because the software is for 1 not ms garbage(well I guess thats completely false considering the xbox is made by microsoft...well they don't actually make the hardware but they def make software for it) and 2 its designed for the specific hardware...any time u have a fixed system like that u are gonna have a very high reliability rate

I think nano technology could be the future of all desease control...but I really don't know much about it...I guess I'm hoping it will be cause I think the current system of throwing chemicals at problems until something sticks is flawed at best

This is not just about whether the hardware is fixed. Yes, of course, that helps, but Linux-based systems are even more diverse than Windows-based PC's (since Linux runs on any PC plus just about everything else there is), and yet they have an excellent reliability on ANY hardware.

Hmmm... I am afraid clarification is needed, although I wonder if it is really possible to clarify such an issue... Although paranoia is not *in and of itself* necessary for spiritual experience, learning how to accept the mental/physical feelings that lead to paranoia is an essential part of self-discovery that cannot be bypassed, in my opinion. ...If you do not experience hell, and know only heaven, you only understand one side of an elementary duality. The pleasure derived from such drugs as MDMA is not transcendence, whether the drug is a good treatment for PTSD or not. It is, again, one feeling in a totality of many more.
