Singularity rant 2.0: Point/counterpoint

I've been thinking about alternatives to a digestible computer, but I haven't figure out anything more convenient. The common image people have in their heads is a surgical implant, which I don't think is very attractive. Even non-invasive surgery sounds a bit extreme. Hmm...

What's so convenient about shoving a computer inside you at all? Especially if it's in such an awkward place, how am I supposed to use something if it's lodged in my digestive system? It won't do anything there, it'll just give me diarrhea or something!

Even if it's mounted in my flippin' skull, that means I'd have to have another surgery if I ever want to upgrade. And with a processor that small... again, what if it overheats? On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do I die?

I mean, it'd have to work pretty hard to do any workstation-level work, it'd be cheaper and easier just to buy a desktop with this derpy scifi-level tech and be done with it.

I do like the idea of 3D printed organs, though. Yeeeaaaa

What happens if this computer overheats, do I catch on fucking fire?

You'll just shit out some funny smelling stuff and a bit of blood ;-)
