Not sure why onetimePete is being downvoted. Although worded unusually, I concur with his implication - that after some time, advancements in this kind of technology will likely move us towards a ubiquitously augmented world. Although I personally expect we would settle on an open protocol for sharing and receiving public / private augmentations, it makes sense that the organisations who control augmentation technology wield an awful lot of power. Principally, the ability to make the world look, to you, however they want it to... perhaps subtly.
