Eyes, arms, legs, ears,
maybe replacing internal organs with more efficient robot parts,
extra sensory information / brain-computer interfaces,
So like, how many years before they're good enough to be worth the surgery and not ridiculously expensive?
I know I'm getting bionic eyes soon, I'm thinking 5-10 years out from now

that's a fuckhuge CPU
Why waste time with the shitty intermittent stage tech?
Just wait for nano machines, son
Like 3-5 years. It's literally right around the corner.
I mean we're literally doing this right now so I would say 10 years before it gets juicy, more like 20 for it to be affordable though. 30 for the good shit to be affordable. Full body transplant literally 1 picosecond after your death because there is no god and life is cruel.

When Chinese companies start hiring NASA-level software engineers to code the things.
So never.

Not until battery technology (or mechanical efficiency) has sufficiently advanced to the point where
1. Your bionic arm or leg can last a minimum of 16 hours on a single charge
2. You don't need to carry a giant unwieldy battery fanny pack around with you everywhere to keep your arm functioning
Not until bionic limbs and organs can at least match and preferably exceed the functionality of their organic counterparts. Today's bionic arms are mechanically impressive but barely offer even 1/3 of the dexterity or agility of natural ones. Things like knitting, gaming, golfing, etc. (basically anything that requires even a modicum of precision) with a bionic limb remain the stuff of science fiction. The most advanced bionic eyes in the world produce low-res monochrome silhouettes of large objects, at best. Bioengineers are inching ever closer to that 1:1 perfect replacement ideal, but at an incremental pace.
30+ years. Legs will probably be perfected first.
