What do you consider bodyhacking?

What do you consider bodyhacking?

For me the implication is it's frivolous for now, relatively easy tasks made easier by adding implanted tech. I don't consider an IUD as body hacking is because it's not frivolous. The ability to control fertility is essential in our current culture and we change our world through human population.

  1. I'd say that IUD is a bodyhack, in that it is a creative solution to an interesting problem.  RFID chips are just labelling — not that different from writing a barcode on skin with a a laundry marker —, and thus don't pass my bar to be considered a proper hack.

  2. I think we're on the same page with this - it's how we consider "hacking".
