So here we stand at the start of 2009 and my 25th year on Earth and it occurs to me, I may be able to say a similar line to this in the year 3009, assuming we don't blow ourselves to hell.
I look around now at how far medical science has come in the mainstream (and the truly amazing things it's done and is doing on the fringe) and I think that anyone alive today younger than thirty may have the option to see people of comic book proportions arise, or become one themselves.
Most of the baby steps for SR tech exist, and if you combined them we'd have some of it now. People just lack the creativity/interest/money to go in that direction I guess. Nobody thinks (or cares if) a coating of the new high energy black solar panels would be great to power a powered prosthesis, not to mention recent steps in super capacitance technology.
With some creativity and a little money we could have brain implants to surf the net and even see it in our heads, though I think this would require training on the implantees part, neuro-plasticity and all that.
The problem is IMHO, even if this tech all did combine in the ways to produce our RPG fantasies tomorrow, it would be VERY slow to be adopted the way it is in Shadowrun. I remember when piercings other than in the ears were one in a million, and anyone with them was a person to "steer clear of" according to mainstream society. This is the kind of mentality I see happening with all kinds of voluntary Cybertech. Bioware will be another story. As long as it doesn't touch stem cells or cloning, it will be more widespread and used (probably because it's cheaper and in most cases less dramatically invasive) but rarely talked about.
Going back to what I said, if you're under 30 and take amazingly good care of yourself, with science the way it is and will be, you might see the dawn of the next millennium. Rambling off, thanks for reading.
