To me it seems like a/the next level of personal data and incorporation into our persona
20 years ago, the idea of having convenient access to all or even most of your data, in your every day person was ludicrous
Then came laptops, allowing us to sort of have access to most or a good chunk of data, but not really on your everyday person
Then came smart phones which have exploded in capacity, always with you, but now we are seeing the first world problems of, did I save that to this phone or my old phoneā¦
Also itās still a physical object can is easily lost or stolen
I have a home cloud storage that I try to use as my main point of data storage, but there completely dependent on access to the internet
I donāt really care about the means of conveyance wifi/ble/rfid/nfc/direct electrical contacts
But I love the idea of local media becoming local in the most absolute definition
Obviously a 4tb drive isnāt going to be immediately within reach as an implant, but we also didnāt foresee the possibility of a 1tb SD card a decade ago
Thatās fair. I too want to be able to touch a data terminal and have it transfer terabytes of information to and from my physical person on a whim. Thatās some next level shit though. Sometimes experimenting when a technology is in its infancy is a productive means of advancing it to the point that you want it to be more rapidly.
Almost I definitely use one of mine to give out a standalone vCard. Thatās pure underskin data storage - albeit very little data. It hardly qualifies as bodily enhancement, but it is convenient for sure.
Storing wallets, Decryption keys and emergency scripts behind a well protected custom applet is the Raison DāĆŖtre of my DF2 chip. Access control is just a cool bonus.
That said, if I can have the correct scripts stored I dont need more than a handful bytes of dataā¦ so I wouldnāt go for mass storage, unless I can access it through some sort of augmented appendage (i.e. cyber eye, or implanted earphones)
Agree.
Hence why I tend to give a more positive hand to experimental folks, even if I canāt see a good use for the experiment.
While in London in 2018 for the accelerator program we got VivoKey into, I had to buy some clothes from M&Sā¦ still not used to the UK / London pricesā¦ wife and I joked the place should be called āMarks & Spendersā ā¦ my favourite part of course is the play on Marks ā¦ and yes I did spell favorite like that just for you UKers
Iām straight up American, and proud of every inch, foot, and yard. But, I still have a slight tendency to the use of colour, harbour, grey, in stead of gray. Comes from reading old sailing novels in my youth.
No wayā¦ Iāve heard it myself (wifeās Canadian)ā¦ but itās split east vs westā¦ west is aboat, east is aboot. There are many examples like that actuallyā¦ same as words sound different on east vs west coast of the US
Weird. Actually I was watching a video with an American turned Canadian journalist who said āabootā and all the Canadians watching with me pointed out that that was totally fake.
Now I feel cheated and confused. They must be trying to hide it from me.
Haha well I think itās probably very isolated to be honestā¦ but there are other similar words that are said differently on west vs east coast of canada that are both nothing close to the US version from either coastā¦
Like asphaltā¦ they literally add a letter to say it like ashfault. Ashā¦ faultā¦ yeah wtf.
What really gets me though are the flattening of vowels, particularly the aā¦ so like we say pasta like paw staw but they say it paa staa ā¦the a in any word always sounds like aaaaaaa ā¦ Mazda car brand ā¦ a name that is based on japanese phonetic letters Ma Zu Da (maw zoo daw) sounds in canada like maa zoo daaā¦ drama ā¦ draamaa not draw mawā¦ it comes streaming across the radio waves from Canadia FM we pick up down here across the border and itās like spikes in my ears.

I found you a quick tutorial aboot
