I think the future will be less flashy and dramatic than what most transhumanists envision. These things will be expensive, so I don't expect that anyone that doesn't need them will get them. If you're an amputee, you might get a sweet bionic limb. If your liver is failing or you're going blind, you might get some new cloned/printed/prosthetic organs. But unless it's medically necessary or you're rich enough to pay for the costs out of pocket, I don't see you getting Deus Ex style augmentations.

That said, I think there will still be SOME commercially viable augs. Implants that let you feel electromagnetic fields and the like. The sort of stuff that's considered 'biohacking' today. Also perhaps neural implants a la Ghost in the Shell.

This is how I see my future.
