Any chance of becoming a T-800?
I have always wanted to be a Terminator. Sort of. I don’t mean that I want to go around killing people, travelling in time, or stealing motorbikes. But the idea of having access to technological enhancements that mean that I can engage in the world with the benefits of technology, in an instant understanding how to use technology, the features of any object around me, and being able to do everything else that the T800 could do — well, sign me up. For those of you not sure what I’m talking about, please enjoy of cinematic wonder.
Now, ok, I said I wasn’t interested in stealing motorbikes, but cycling generally is something I’m very fond of. I like being on a bike. One thing I should use and that other people like me should like is . For those not in the know, these are headgear that incorporate technology to enhance safety, functionality, and connectivity for the wearer. They often include features like built-in cameras, sensors, communication modules, and GPS systems, which can provide features like crash detection, hands-free communication, and navigation. Does that sound Terminator-like? It’s close enough for me.
