Rohan15: So...if I were to, say, whack you in the back of the head with a crowbar or throw some magnets at you, how bad would that be for you?
Well, that depends on the amount of inner cranial shielding around the storage device. I assume by the time the technology exists to actually do this, HD tech will make magnets a non-threat. But the crowbar...might have to add a combat drone to protect me :P

And if only I didn't have some kind of EMP device in my pocket... ;)

Well, depends on the upgrade level of the drone, it might have a "Incoming projectile/thrown weapon defensive grid" I mean, I would have the bucks to have it, being a world authority in corporate subterfuge and all xD

CrashToOverride: I gotta be honest, I would totally pull a Johnny Mnemonic and want a cranium implanted storage device for info, with data port installed. Imagine actually being an information transporter, you could make a killing in the business sector.
Because encryption is hard?

Good idea, except for the whole "Losing bits of your memory" part. And potential death.
I wouldn't replace limbs, I'd add them. Six arms? Hell yeah. And a jet pack in my back. Because the future NEEDS jet packs, dammit!
And don't forget the animals. Dogmentation, anyone?

HOLY SHIT AWESOME
So I guess the next step would be finding a way to create memories and insert them into someone who never had them. You can download your education, but it would probably have some lame DRM crap. Like you can only know something if you have a constant internet connection. And then we could have DRM-free Good Old Knowledge :D

Hey there, *connection lost*... uh, wait, who're you again?

*connection lost* (holy shit I forgot how to speak!)

...simply wonderful!
Brain DRM. I can see it now.
I could use something to increase my strength. Well, to be more accurate, to get at least some strength. Also few knuckles are in need of upgrading too and while I'm at it, better eyes would help too.
Detatchable Penis
Augmenting MTV to actually play music videos? Yeah, I could get behind that.
