>>14143200Removable tech will almost always outweight the benifits of implanted tech in most cases. If your brain implant suddenly goes bad after 20 years of use, you cant just "buy a new one". Your stuck using older hardware as 'your model' becomes outdated. I would forsee bionics in a similar vein as tattoos, sure you look cool with them but as you age you begin to regret the disicion more and more.
On the other hand, if you can easily exchange your cybernetic enchancments and upgrade them without worry it would be a whole lot easir to adapt the human body to them. This is where wearables come in. You dont have to worry about your body rejecting materials, getting remote controled, or the ethics of it.
The best part is we actually have lab history on exoskeletons. making them a whole lot easier to produce than your average cyborg. Imagine what robotic exoskeletons could do to help the workforce, those who are sick, the elderly, people with disabilities.
For those intrested in picrel check out.
General electrics Handiman (1961) Hardiman (1965) and militarised nuclear 'beetle' mech (1963) are great examples of historical exoskeletons that were decades ahead of their time.
