Re: OT: Hardware-to-Organism Interfaces (h2oi)
The problem I see (as a 16 hour a day Internet worker) would be the dangers from the temptations involved with direct neural feeds. Sure Id love to talk around and do my internet job, but Id probably just veg out on the couch and later the bed. Eventually the machines would have to feed me. Eventually they may have to get power from me to keep taking care of me to keep me in the virtual world... seeing the path? I always said the Matrix didnt have to be forced on people, it would have made alot of sense if they had said we went to it voluntarily.
I never did think the BORG was realistic. The idea of pursuing perfection by putting more and more people into a collective mind. I have internet. I can SEE that doesnt work.
