Cybernetic systems currently allow us to implant chips into subs/slave to monitor a sub/slave and tell us where they have been and where, removing uncertainty regarding whether or not an order that has no immediate visible consequence has been obeyed id the Master/Dom is away. Or brain implants that allow Masters/Doms to control a sub/slave's muscles so thay they are forced to do things. For an excellent example of such technology I recommend the Gap series of books by Stephen R. Donaldson.
Hm, i'll have to look into those books, because my thoughts on the topic are on the same lines... If not neural/muscular implants, then possibly an exoskeleton that can be remote-controlled.
i do think electronic toys will become more sophisticated, particularly as it comes to remote-controlled and programmable devices. Imagine a vibrator with clit stim that can be controlled independently... that also has a range of TENS features... all controlled from a remote control (or your Bluetooth phone)... that will bring the pain if the wearer doesn't maintain the proper distance from their controller (say more than three feet, less than six)... The possibilities are almost endless. Of course, some people are already experimenting with them, but i think a lot more will get into the retail world for non-hackers.
And while a lot of people like to trash-talk cyber, i don't think "teledildonics" (Internet-enabled remote stim, with feedback monitoring) is dead... Just remember, fantasy- books, television, MMORGs, amusement parks, video games- represents tens of Billions of dollars globally... Making the fantasy more real can make people very rich
(was it Denis Leary who said that once they perfect "Holodeck" technology society will come to a halt, because being able to fuck Claudia Schiffer in virtual reality without leaving your house will make crack cocaine look like Captain Crunch?)
i also think that there is a lot of potential in alginates and other plastic resins that hasn't been explored... Imagine collars that are molded in place, decorated with almost anything imaginable, that won't rot, absorb sweat, or set off metal detectors, and require heavy cutting tools to remove. Full-body coccoons that are perfectly form-fitted, absolutely rigid, and removable. i've got one word for you: plastics. And $200 worth of composite resins sitting in a closet waiting for me to get some free time to experiment...
Unfortunately, i think that the medical industry will continue to use their power to keep a lot of their fun advances out of the hands of the little people... think of how difficult it already is to get things like opaque contact lenses, catheters, intubation kits, general anaesthetics, "truth serums", even needles in some places... [:o] i don't think neural implants will be any easier to pick up at your local retailer, although our beloved government will almost certainly give us the tracking devices...
To infinity, and beyond!
