We're seeing steady improvements in synthetic limb prostheses now, as more and more people who have lost their limbs, eventually manage to obtain one, which means, continuous research and development in making them more functional, easier, more efficient to use. There is still huge milestones to go in this regard, but the rate of advance is steady, as we can see in these other examples:
Personally I look forward to the day I can finally shed away from this inferior, limited, rather feeble biological substrate we call the human body... I wouldn't mind having my brain fitted into a machine body eventually, though of course we have to deal with biological aging of the brain, which we have to somehow resolve... (replace biological neurons with synthetic versions that cannot degrade/deteriorate over long periods of time, perhaps, or mind-computer upload...this could still take decades of research).
Seriously, I'm tired sitting on my ass as I type and experiencing all these physical discomforts... we must increase performance efficiency to ze max!!!!!!
