In the summer of 2014, CNN Business ran a short segment called "The business of being a cyborg": a couple of minutes on Dangerous Things and the market for implantable technology.
The segment landed in a year when CNN kept circling the topic. That April, CNN.com had published a feature arguing that while the tech press obsessed over wearables, "embeddable" implants were already here, with me as a case study: an implant enthusiast since 2005 whose start-up had just crowdfunded a successful campaign for the xNT. The article also caught the tension I lived with daily: I recommended buyers have their implants installed by vetted professional partners while still publishing a DIY guide for those who insisted on going it alone. A bioengineering professor supplied the obligatory counterweight. Medicine is for solving problems, not enhancing healthy people, so stop.
An April tech feature, then a July business segment: implants had stopped being purely a curiosity story and started being a business story, and I was happy to supply the balance sheet's point of view.
