Then this article:

>The research – commissioned by security firm Kaspersky – found that 92 percent of us would change a physical aspect of ourselves if we could while nearly two thirds (63 percent) of us would consider augmenting our bodies with technology to improve them – either permanently or temporarily.

>The wide-reaching study of 14,500 adults across 16 countries in Europe and North Africa found that Italians are the most likely to consider human augmentation (81 percent) and Brits the least (33 percent). Some respondents even expressed the desire to connect smartphones to their bodies.

>Most people were clear that they wanted human augmentation to be used for the good of humanity, with 53 percent of people saying it should be used to improve quality of life. Across the board, in every country, the objective for any human augmentation was to improve overall physical health (40 percent) or eyesight (33 percent).

>Some doubts remain though, with respondents stating that they feared augmentation would be limited to the wealthy (69 percent), while nearly nine out of 10 (88 percent) people stated that they feared their bodies could be hacked by cyber criminals.

How likely is it to actually be hacked by a criminal by the time these things are on the street?
