What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life? (lemmy.world)

I don't have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn't choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to "hear" music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn't even be upgraded hearing or anything.

So do y'all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?

If we're going full sci-fi, I want to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, then go STRAIGHT to REM. ...and actually stay asleep long enough for any of that to mean jack.

I'd rather not need sleep at all, with the option to do it sometimes for skipping time

But sleep is the best part of this dumpster-fire of a reality.
